Episode Synopsis

Managing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) requires careful consideration of fluid therapy, especially in severe cases. In part two of our REBEL Cast DKA series, we shifted from insulin strategies to fluid choice in severe DKA, diving into the SCOPE-DKA trial—a cluster, crossover, open-label RCT from Australia. While normal saline (NS) is commonly used, concerns about its high chloride content and impact on acidosis have sparked growing interest in balanced solutions like Plasma-Lyte.
