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. Signs of shock to be mindful for are tachycardia, hypotension, prolonged CRT, pallor, and a weak thready pulse.

Hypothermic Arrest In general, hypothermic patients in cardiac arrest should be aggressively resuscitated. Patients can have excellent outcomes despite prolonged resuscitation. 2,3 If the patient meets criteria for resuscitation, they generally are not declared dead until their core temperature is above 32℃ (“warm and dead”).
