Objective To evaluate the value of emergency first aid treatment in diabetic ketoacidosis.Methods A to-tal of 76 patients with diabetic ketoacidosis admitted to the Department of Emergency Medicine of Tengzhou Central People's Hospital from October 2022 to October 2023 were selected as the research objects.According to different treatment methods,they were divided into control group(38 cases,conventional treatment)and observation group(38 cases,emergency first aid treatment).The blood glucose index(fasting blood glucose,2-hour postprandial blood glu-cose,glycated hemoglobin A1c),complication rate(hypokalemia,hypoglycemia,brain edema and acute kidney injury),acidosis correction time and urine ketone body negative time were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the blood glucose levels of the observation group were lower than those of the control group,and the differ-ences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The acidosis correction time and urine ketone body negative time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group,and the dif-ferences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).Conclusion Emergency first aid treatment in diabetic ketoacido-sis can effectively control blood glucose and reduce the incidence of complications.
