Emergency Department Management of Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State in Adults: National Survey of Attitudes and Practice

摘要

Objectives: In 2013, the Canadian Diabetes Association, now Diabetes Canada, published national clinical practice guidelines for the effective management of diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic states in adults. We sought to determine emergency physician compliance rates and attitudes toward these guidelines and to identify potential barriers to their use in Canadian emergency departments.
