DKA vs HHS | Endocrine System (Part 4)

For lesson 4, we are taking a look at DKA vs HHS. Diabetic ketoacidosis vs hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state. These are 2 hyperglycemic emergencies that we will often see in caring for our patients in the ICU.

We start off talking about DKA and what exactly DKA is and the defining characteristics. We also talk about the causes that lead out patients in to DKA. From there we take a deep dive in to the pathophysiology of DKA and fully break it down in a way in which hopefully will make it easy to follow and understand. Finally we talk about the signs and symptoms that you will see with DKA.

Next we move on and talk about HHS and how it is defined and its characteristics, compared to DKA. We talk about the causes being very similar to that of DKA, and then move in to talk about the pathophysiology and most importantly, how it differs from DKA. This leads us in to talking about some of signs and symptoms of DKA that are not seen in HHS.

Finally we cover the treatment of both of these hyperglycemia emergencies. The treatment is almost exactly the same for both of these focusing on 4 major areas of treatment.

Hopefully at the end of this lesson you will have a much better understanding of both DKA and HHS as well as the ways in which they are similar as well as the ways in which they are different and how we would reco

DKA/HHS pts are some of my favorite to take care of specifically because they come up so so sick and you can really see an improvement in them over a few hours during your shift it’s quite satisfying

Thanks for this video! I'm in ketosis and I would like to see a video showing the differences between what you mention in this video and a healthy response to nutritional ketosis.

[teemaboysal]

Thank you so much guys! I finally can figure out the difference between the two without getting too heavy on the terminology. Well set out with the patho, causes and characteristics and such a simple explanation to follow AND understand.

Thank you guys so much for watching! Please leave us a like if you enjoyed the video. We truly do appreciate it! Also we love hearing your comments so feel free to tell us what you think of the video. We hope that after this lesson, you will have a good understanding of the differences between DKA and HHS. They are quite similar when it comes to treatment and some of the pathophysiology, but they are very different disorders arising from very different situations.

Don't forget to check out these other great lessons that we have available!

Thank you for these videos; I'm hoping to work in the ER and I think your videos will help me just as much there as in the ICU!
