  • Title: Peritoneal dialysis in hypernatraemic, ketoacidotic diabetic coma.
    Author: Køolendorf K, Møoller BB.
    Journal: Acta Med Scand; 1976; 200(1-2):75-77. PubMed ID: 822694.
    Abstract:
    Hypertonic dehydration in a 13-year-old boy with ketoacidotic diabetic coma has been treated successfully with peritoneal dialysis and isotonic fluids. Modes of treatment with either hypotonic or isotonic fluids are discussed, as is the feasibility of peritoneal dialysis. We recommend isotonic solutions composed of equal parts of 5.5% glucose and 0.9% sodium chloride combined with peritoneal dialysis in order to secure a relatively slow correction of the hypertonic state.
