Protocol summary

Study aim
Does the addition of long-acting subcutaneous insulin to the standard treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis reduce the time out of the acute phase?
Design
after providing a full explanation of the method and purpose of the research, the children's parents sign the consent form and the basic information is entered into a questionnaire. This information includes Age, weight, height, stage of puberty, history and severity of the disease .Patients are divided into one of the control and intervention groups using random block sampling method.Control group: receive short-term insulin drip (standard treatment). Intervention groups: In addition to receiving standard short-term insulin drip, they receive a long-acting subcutaneous insulin dose of 0.5 units per kilogram of child weight.In both groups,Time out of the acute phase and the occurrence of complications are recorded. Leaving the acute phase, ie serum pH level> 7.3 and HCO3> 15mEq / L, normal serum electrolytes, alertness and no vomiting. Blood glucose levels are measured and recorded by the glucometer every hour and the patients' blood glucose, sodium, potassium and VBG are measured every three hours.The results are compared and statistically analyzed in two groups.
Settings and conduct
Patients in all groups will be admitted to PICU from the time of admission to the time of exit from the acute phase and will be monitored continuously for possible complications and will be treated in case of complications.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
nclusion criteria: 1• The patient is between 2 and 15 years old. 2• Children with acute diabetic ketoacidosis : o BS> 200 mg / dL o PH <7.30 o HCO3 <15 mEq /L o Urine ketone is positiv
Intervention groups
intervention groups: Adding two types of long-acting subcutaneous insulin to standard treatment of DKA
Main outcome variables
Time to exit the acute phase of diabetic ketoacidosis in hours

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
All children with diatotic ketoacidosis who are referred to Qazvin Children's Hospital for treatment are included in the study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then patients are assigned to one of the 3 treatment groups based on the block random allocation table which is randomly assigned to the software. Therefore, we have 18 blocks, in each block of 6, the number of patients assigned to each treatment group is equal to 2.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
In this study, the clinical caregiver (physician and nurse) is aware of the intervention due to the registration of the intervention in the physician's instructions , But the researcher, data analyzer, and outcome assessor do not know which patient is in the intervention or control group.

Other design features
after providing a full explanation of the method and purpose of the research, the children's parents sign the consent form and the basic information is entered into a questionnaire. This information includes Age, weight, height, stage of puberty, history and severity of the disease . patients are divided into One of three groups of control and intervention using random block sampling method.Two intervention groups: Children who, in addition to receiving short-term standard insulin drip within the first 6 hours of treatment, receive a long-acting subcutaneous dose of Lantus or Detmirra at a rate of 0.5 units per kilogram of body weight .In both groups,Time out of the acute phase and the occurrence of complications are recorded , the duration of exit from the acute phase, the length of stay of the child in the intensive care unit and the occurrence of possible complications are reviewed and recorded. Exclusion from the acute phase in this study is a condition in which the serum level is PH> 7.3, HCO3> 15mEq / L, normal serum electrolytes, the patient is conscious and does not vomit. The serum level of patients' blood sugar is measured and recorded by the glucometer every hour and the level of blood sugar, sodium, potassium and VBG (Venus blood gas) of patients is measured and recorded by the laboratory every three hours. Finally, the collected data are compared with each other and the findings are reported. All patient information will remain confidential with the researchers and the findings of this study will be reported anonymously.
