In severe DKA, always start regular insulin infusion at the rate of 0.1 IU/kg/hour AFTER bolus fluid 20 ml/kg NS or RL over one hour . When child is improving ( signs of acidosis are decreased) usually after 6-12 hours, then taper regular insulin infusion from 0.1 to 0.05 IU/kg/hour.
In less than 4 years age children with mild to moderate DKA, we can start regular insulin infusion 0.05 IU/kg/hour after bolus fluid.
Very very thanks mam every teaching class of u helping very much mam pls make video on management of electrolyte imbalance and acid base disorders thanku mam
Ma’am how have you calculated regular insulin infusion rate i.e. 2.08ml/hour?
Plus do we always dilute the regular insulin in 50 ml NS? Please clear my queries ma’am, I’ll be highly obliged 🙂

Hello Fatima,
50 ml ➗ 24 hours =2.08 ml/hour.
No, it’s not necessary to dilute in 50 ml fluid. But it’s easy to use 50 ml syringe in syringe pump, so we generally do this.
@Learning Pediatrics okay ma’am, thanks a lot?
