Diabetic Emergencies: Mastering DKA and HHS Crisis Management
This episode breaks down the two most high-stakes endocrine emergencies every nurse must be able to recognize and treat fast: diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS/HHNK). You’ll learn the core physiological differences, the hallmark diagnostic markers, and the exact priority steps for managing each crisis safely at the bedside.
We walk through the DKA triad (hyperglycemia + metabolic acidosis + ketones) and contrast it with HHS (extreme hyperglycemia + severe dehydration + high osmolality without acidosis).
You’ll also master the DKA FIK sequence (Fluids → Insulin → Potassium), the potassium pitfalls that change priority order, the life-threatening complication of cerebral edema in HHS, and why HHS insulin therapy must be slow and carefully titrated.
Two real-world scenarios drive home exactly what to do first, what labs to watch, and how to avoid the classic NCLEX traps like “insulin before potassium.”
The episode closes with high-impact prevention strategies, sick-day rules, and the growing role of diabetes technology — including closed-loop insulin systems and continuous glucose monitoring — that are dramatically reducing DKA readmissions.
