It was created after a chart review of pediatric patients with DKA determined that guidelines of DKA management were being incompletely followed. Methods: The resource contains recommendations from the American Diabetes Association guidelines, as well as a learning module consisting of a case scenario and three questions, each of which highlights important aspects of the care of pediatric patients with DKA. Session length should be no longer than 15 minutes. Results: Data are currently being collected on the reach of this educational tool. Discussion: The resource is limited by its short duration. It was deliberately designed to be readily accessible in a time-limited situation for initial care. Part of the education focuses on the complexity of pediatric patients with DKA, in the process making it clear that the three questions highlight only the most immediate clinical need. As a tool to be used in an acute care setting, this resource is adequate; however, a more comprehensive module with more detailed recommendations could be constructed for learners with less clinical experience. Educational Objectives By the end of this session, learners will be able to: Utilize an educational module and quick reference for established guidelines for pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).Evaluate their knowledge and management of pediatric DKA.
