New nursing checklist speeds recovery for kids with diabetic crisis
NCT ID NCT07467616
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a structured nursing guideline could improve outcomes for children aged 6-16 with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious diabetes complication. Sixty children were split into two groups: one received standard care, the other care guided by the new nursing protocol. The guideline focused on close monitoring of blood sugar, vital signs, and fluid balance to catch problems early. The goal was to see if it shortened recovery time and hospital stays.
