The exact mechanism is not known… It was previously believed that it was due to rapid changes in serum osmolality during initial fluid resuscitation.

Additionally, 80% of patients in the control group required open label NE use indicating that NE was going to be needed in most of these patients regardless of initial resuscitation method. The median amount of fluids administered between the groups before initiation of NE was not statistically significant (2080 mL vs. 1900 mL).

It is also vital to do a fluid balance assessment. Majority of DKA patients are in a fluid deficit and present acutely with shock. Therefore, they require fluid resuscitation to restore blood pressure, correct the ketonemia and electrolyte abnormalities, and oliguria. This is done with an initial bolus of 10ml/kg 0.9%
