Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)

This video discusses this life-threatening complication of Type 1 diabetes. It elaborates on the pathophysiology, cause, treatment options and associated nursing care. The hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) video delineates this complication of Type 2 diabetes. Also refer to the basic video on Type 1 and 2 diabetes in the Endocrine Playlist as well as the Fluid & Electrolyte Playlist on my channel Nursing School Explained for a discussion of PH regulation to maintain homeostasis.
