Begin with an isotonic solution (0.9 % saline) at 5–10 ml/kg/h over 90–120 min (not exceeding 300 ml/h); do not use colloids |
At the beginning of hydration if hypokalemic, but at the latest from the start of insulin therapy, add potassium (20 mmol/L before or 40 mmol/L from the start of insulin infusion) as 50 % potassium chloride and 50 % potassium phosphate |
Start IV insulin infusion as human regular insulin not before 90–120 min and never give an insulin bolus. It is recommended to utilize an automated syringe for insulin delivery |
The recommended insulin dosage is 0.05–0.1 U/kg/h according to patient’s age, but less insulin (0.025–0.05/kg/h) is better and safer |
Continue from the third hour with 0.9 % saline |
The rate of IV fluid should be calculated to rehydrate evenly over at least 48 h; be careful not to exceed 1.5 times the daily maintenance |
When the blood glucose level drops to 250–300 mg/dl (14–17 mmol/l), or decreases faster than 100 mg/dl (6 mmol/l))/h, add glucose 5–10 %, but the fluid replacement should continue to have a tonicity equal to or greater than 0.45 % saline |
The use of bicarbonate is not recommended |
