Participant Flow

Patients were recruited when presenting to a tertiary care free-standing children's hospital in diabetic ketoacidosis from October 2018 to June 2021 when the study was suspended by the facility pharmacy due to a critical shortage of electrolytes for all IVF bags. The study was ended early in March 2024 when the pharmacy informed the study team electrolytes will not be available in a reasonable timeframe.

Upon enrollment, patients were randomized and treated in a double blind design
