ABSTRAK
Penggantian cecair adalah rawatan utama untuk kencing manis ketoacidosis (DKA). Pada masa ini pilihan terbaik daripada cecair masih diperdebatkan. 0.9% Normal Saline (NS) yang menyebabkan ketidakseimbangan metabolik dan asidosis metabolik biasanya digunakan. Sterofundin® merupakan kristaloid & Health Dec 2017;12(2): 179-192 Rossman H. et al. (Malaysian Clinical Practice Guidelines 2015). The ideal fluid for managing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is controversial. Following substantial fluid loss due to osmotic diuresis, fluid deficit can be estimated up to 100 ml/ kg which is corrected within 24 hrs. Crystalloid 0.9% normal saline (NS) is currently the mainstay therapy for fluid replacement. Fluid replacement regiment for a systolic BP > 90 mmHg is 1000 mL of NS for the 1 st hr, another 1000 mL of NS for next 2 hrs and 1000 Kata kunci: jurang anion, diabetic ketoacidoses, keton, ph , saline, sterofundin
ABSTRACTFluid replacement is the mainstay treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Currently, the best choice of fluids is still debatable. An amount of 0.9% sodium chloride is commonly used. Sterofundin® is an alternative crystalloid that is assumed to expedite resolution of acidosis. Advantages in sterofundin content being smaller significant ion difference (SID) to plasma and lower chloride content. The main objective of the study was to compare rate of acidosis resolution in DKA patients between treatment with 0.9% normal saline and Sterofundin over 12 hrs. Other objectives were to compare significant ion difference (SID), 12-hr blood ketone clearance and electrolyte balance between the two groups. The study was a prospective open labelled randomized control trial. This study was conducted over 6 months. Sample size of 18 was obtained with 9 for each arm. Main difference between two groups was initial median 2-hr pH level improvement (NS = +0.006 vs. Sterofundin = +0.05, P=0.063), however not being significant. Ketone, anion gap reduction, bicarbonate normalisation, sodium, chloride, urea and creatinine levels failed to show any significant differences between both groups. Twelve-hour median chloride levels increments were higher in the NS group (+11) compared to the sterofundin group (+6). There was no difference between mortality and morbidity. Comparing the two fluid groups, there was no significant biochemical differences during treatment of DKA. This was a pilot study that can initiate further clinical trials.
