Скачать или смотреть Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) Explained | Pathophysiology, Diagnosis & Management

Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening metabolic emergency resulting from severe insulin deficiency and excess counter-regulatory hormones.

This video explains DKA in a clear, step-by-step manner, focusing on physiology and clinical relevance.

🔍 Topics covered:

• What is DKA and why it occurs
• Pathophysiology: insulin deficiency → lipolysis → ketone production
• The diagnostic triad:
– Hyperglycemia
– Ketosis
– Metabolic acidosis
• Key clinical features:
– Polyuria, polydipsia
– Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain
– Kussmaul respiration
– Fruity (acetone) breath
• Common triggers (infection, missed insulin, new-onset diabetes)
• The 3 pillars of DKA management:

IV fluid resuscitation

IV insulin therapy

Electrolyte (especially potassium) correction

This video is especially useful for:
• Medical students
