US 2007/0168136 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING DIABETIC CONDITIONS

Abstract

A system is provided for a keto-acidosis protocol which includes a computer processor having patient parameter data input. The patient parameter data input to the computer processor may include the patient's blood glucose level, a target patient blood glucose level, a patient's carbon dioxide level, a patient's sodium level, a patient's blood pH value, and the patient's potassium level which has been measured. A patient hydration computer program assesses the patient's hydration state. Coupled to the patient hydration computer program is a patient potassium computer program to assess the patient's potassium level and a patient blood pH value computer program assesses the patient's blood pH value. A display monitor is coupled to the computer processor for displaying indicia thereon responsive to the actuation of the patient hydration computer program, the patient potassium computer program, and the patient blood pH value computer program.

Dependent claims

A method for providing a diabetic keto-acidosis protocol for managing a patient's keto-acidosis state including the steps of:

(a) establishing a computer processor for actuating a computer program for determining the patient's keto-acidosis state;
(b) inputting a plurality of patient parameters to said computer processor, said patient parameters including a patient's blood glucose level, a target patient blood glucose level, a patient's blood carbon dioxide level, a patient's blood sodium level, a patient's blood pH value, and a patient's blood potassium level;
(c) initiating a keto-acidosis protocol when said patient's blood glucose level is above a predetermined value;
(d) assessing a patient's hydration state when said patient's blood carbon dioxide and blood pH value are above respective predetermined values;
and
(e) displaying a hydration warning indicia and hydration corrective action indicia to be taken on a display monitor when said patient's hydration state is assessed.
