Diabetic ketoacidosis is a complication of new or existing pediatric diabetes and may be complicated by cerebral injury. Due to this risk, it is treated differently from adult DKA. TREKK is pleased to offer several resources on DKA, in both English and French, freely available on our website. Find our diabetic ketoacidosis resources here: https://trekk.ca/topic/dka/
------------------
L’acidocétose diabétique est une complication du diabète infantile, qu’il soit nouvellement diagnostiqué ou déjà installé, et peut entraîner des lésions cérébrales. En raison de ce risque, sa prise en charge diffère de celle de l’acidocétose diabétique chez l’adulte. TREKK est heureux de vous proposer plusieurs ressources sur l’acidocétose diabétique, en anglais et en français, disponibles gratuitement sur notre site web.

Our Gastroenteritis Bottom Line Resource has been updated. Some updated points include trying oral rehydration first and reserving IV fluids for severe cases, checking glucose in any child with lethargy or altered mental status, and avoiding unnecessary medications and focusing on supportive care.

We thank Dr. Stephen Freedman from the University of Calgary for lending their expertise and updating this resource. https://trekk.ca/resources/bottom-line-recommendations-gastroenteritis
-------------------------------
Notre guide de référence sur la gastro-entérite a récemment été mis à jour. Parmi les points actualisés, on note qu'il faut privilégier la réhydratation orale en première intention et réserver les perfusions intraveineuses aux cas graves, contrôler la glycémie chez tout enfant léthargique ou présentant une altération de l'état mental, et éviter les médicaments inutiles en privilégiant les soins de soutien. Nous remercions le Dr Stephen Freedman de l'Université de Calgary pour son expertise et la mise à jour de ce guide.
