Diabetic ketoacidosis.
Transport of the pediatric patients with DKA to a tertiary care center may be safely accomplished with a thorough understanding of the conditions that may require it. The patient should be acutely stabilized and standard therapeutic regimens begun prior to and during transport. Careful attention to detail and close monitoring are essential to prevent further instability and morbidity.
