This free online DKA calculator automates the creation of the sliding scale and electrolyte supplementation (K Phos and KCL) in pets with DKA and/or HHS. In addition, it calculates the total osmolarity in the bag with electrolytes to make sure it doesn’t exceed 600 mOsm/L when given via a peripheral catheter. Finally, it generates a printable page that can be given to ICU techs (includes the mixing recipe, sliding scale and osmolality).
