Cerebral edema is an uncommon but devastating complication of diabetic ketoacidosis in children. Risk factors for this complication have not been clearly defined. In this multicenter study ...

Cases of diabetic ketoacidosis resulting in death from irreversible cerebral edema in a boy and an adolescent girl are reported. Although adequate treatment with insulin and fluid was somewhat ...

Cerebral edema in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA-CE) occurs primarily in children and can develop during DKA therapy. The treatment factors contributing to DKA-CE remain elusive. Our objectives were ...

July 12, 2004 — Investigators propose the first evidence-based approach to diagnosing cerebral edema (CE) in children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) early enough to intervene, according to a ...

cardiorespiratory arrest or swelling of the brain (cerebral edema). Many of these complications are related to treatment used for diabetic ketoacidosis such as fluids and insulin.

DKA is the most common cause of death in children with T1DM, mainly related to cerebral edema that occurs at a frequency of 0.15–4.6%. Early recognition of DKA can be improved by increasing the ...

The pathophysiology resulting in cerebral edema in pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is unknown. To investigate the changes in white matter microstructure in this disease, we measured ...

While it varies, osmolality in DKA may be high. Rapid correction of hyperosmolality risks cerebral edema, although in DKA this is primarily a complication seen in children and rarely in patients ...

The study, the largest and most statistically rigorous examination yet of risk factors for cerebral edema in children with diabetic ketoacidosis, appears in the Jan. 25 issue of the New England ...

In most cases of diabetic ketoacidosis, death is caused due to cerebral edema or complication of DKA. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can be the first sign or presenting symptom in some cases of type ...

The optimal management strategy for diabetic ketoacidosis has been a topic of controversy for decades. Disagreement has mainly centered on how to best prevent the occurrence of cerebral edema ...

DKA can lead to cerebral edema and can, in rare cases, cause death. “Mid- and long-term risks [of DKA] include an unfavorable course of the disease with a shortened period of remission and poor ...
