Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Ringer's lactateExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The intervention is administration of IV Ringer's lactate. Rate of study fluid will be at the treating physician's (both ED and inpatient, if consulted for admission) discretion. Apart from fluid administered, there will be no other changes to the patient's clinical care, and patients will receive standard DKA treatment which may include insulin, electrolyte replacement, and/or supportive management. Pharmacy-prepared kits of 8 x 1L bags of study fluid (in Self et al., a maximum of 7090mL was given8) will be kept in a secure space within the ED. Once packaged, IV bags are useable for 30 days before expiration. If a kit is opened but not used completely, individual 1L bags may be returned to the pharmacy to save on costs.

Group II: Normal salineActive Control1 Intervention

The comparator is administration of IV normal saline. Rate of study fluid will be at the treating physician's (both ED and inpatient, if consulted for admission) discretion. Apart from fluid administered, there will be no other changes to the patient's clinical care, and patients will receive standard DKA treatment which may include insulin, electrolyte replacement, and/or supportive management. Pharmacy-prepared kits of 8 x 1L bags of study fluid (in Self et al., a maximum of 7090mL was given8) will be kept in a secure space within the ED. Once packaged, IV bags are useable for 30 days before expiration. If a kit is opened but not used completely, individual 1L bags may be returned to the pharmacy to save on costs.
