Diabetic emergencies [recurso electrónico] : Diagnosis and clinical management

Diabetic emergencies are an extremely serious result of poor glycemic control and if not treated quickly and effectively can result in death. Diabetic Emergencies : Diagnosis and Clinical Management provides emergency room staff, diabetes specialists and endocrinologists with highly practical, clear-cut clinical guidance on both the presentation of serious diabetic emergencies like ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar coma and severe hyper- and hypoglycemia, and the best methods of both managing the emergencies and administering appropriate follow-up care. Each clearly structured chapter highlights: definition of emergency; epidemiology; potential causes; diagnosis; clinical management (including problem areas); follow-up management/care; patient advice Case studies throughout the text aid clinical understanding of real-life scenarios, as do the multiple choice questions and key points/take-home messages. Clear tables and management algorithms highlight the most important features of diagnosis and patient management. Perfect for both the trainee and the junior specialist, this book is also a useful rapid access tool in the pre- and post-hospital environment, specifically for doctors to best advise patients with notoriously poor glycaemic control who have either suffered from or who are at risk of diabetic emergencies.Content: Chapter 1 Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Adults (pages 1–32): Nikolaos Tentolouris and Nikolaos Katsilambros Chapter 2 Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Childhood and Adolescence (pages 33–60): Christina Kanaka?Gantenbein Chapter 3 Hyperosmolar Non?Ketotic Hyperglycemia (pages 61–84): Konstantinos Makrilakis and Nikolaos Katsilambros Chapter 4 Hypoglycemia caused by Insulin (pages 85–112): Stavros Liatis and Nikolaos Katsilambros Chapter 5 Hypoglycemia caused by Insulin Secretagogues (pages 113–132): Nikolaos Tentolouris and Nikolaos Katsilambros Chapter 6 Lactic Acidosis in Diabetes (pages 133–147): Nikolaos Tentolouris and Nikolaos Katsilambros Chapter 7 Management of Hyperglycemia in the Hospital (pages 148–177): Stavros Liatis and Nikolaos Katsilambros Chapter 8 Sick?Day Rules in Diabetes (pages 178–191): Konstantinos Makrilakis and Nikolaos Katsilambros Diabetic emergencies are an extremely serious result of poor glycemic control and if not treated quickly and effectively can result in death. __Diabetic Emergencies**:** Diagnosis and Clinical Management__ provides emergency room staff, diabetes specialists and endocrinologists with highly practical, clear-cut clinical guidance on both the presentation of serious diabetic emergencies like ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar coma and severe hyper- and hypoglycemia, and the best methods of both managing the emergencies and administering appropriate follow-up care.
