NCT ID NCT05752279

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study compares two types of IV fluids—standard saline and a balanced solution called Plasma-Lyte 148—in adults with moderate to severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) who need intensive care. The goal is to see if the balanced fluid helps patients spend more days alive and out of the hospital within the first month. About 680 participants will be enrolled from emergency departments.
