🩺 *FAKIM-TC: Master DKA Management* A structured, stepwise approach every clinician should know 🔹 💧 Fluids – First priority: 0.9% NaCl bolus, adjust as needed. 🔹 🧑‍⚕️ Assessment – ABCs, hydration, mental status, & identify triggers. 🔹 🔋 Potassium – Replace before insulin if K⁺ <3.3 mmol/L. 🔹 💉 Insulin – Start IV insulin only if K⁺ >3.3; titrate carefully. 🔹 📈 Monitoring – Hourly glucose; 2–4 hrly electrolytes, pH, AG. 🔹 🔁 Transition – Shift to SC insulin once DKA resolves; overlap required. 🔹 🦠 Cause – Treat underlying trigger: infection, MI, pancreatitis, etc.
