This document discusses the management of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) during pregnancy. DKA is a medical emergency associated with high rates of fetal loss and maternal mortality. It most commonly occurs in pregnant women with poorly controlled diabetes. The pathophysiology of DKA in pregnancy involves relative insulin resistance during pregnancy and other hormonal and metabolic changes. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and laboratory confirmation of high blood glucose, ketones, and metabolic acidosis. Treatment involves fluid resuscitation, insulin therapy, electrolyte replacement, and monitoring of both mother and fetus until metabolic stabilization is achieved. Fetal well-being during treatment is assessed due to risks of acidosis, dehydration and electrolyte disturbances.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

2. This talk spotlights on
• Definition
• Epidemiology
• Pathophysiology
• Diagnosis
• Differential diagnosis
• Prevention
• Treatment
• Pitfalls in DKS
3.
4. Epidemiology
• DKA is an acute medical
emergency associated with:
- Fetal loss rates more than 50%.
- Maternal mortality rates less
than 1%.
5. Epidemiology
• DKA in pregnancy most commonly occurs in
women with:
- Poorly controlled :
*T1DM
*T2DM or GDM under
- Glucocorticoids
- B-agonists / tocolytics
- First presentation of T1DM in pregnancy
9. DKA is common during pregnancy
WHY?
• Pregnancy is a stat of Relative insulin resistance
especially in 2nd
& 3rd
trimesters.
• Increased levels of HPL ,E, P & Cortisol act
as insulin antagonists& impair maternal
insulin sensitivity.
• Pregnancy is a state of respiratory alkalosis associated
with a compensatory drop in bicarbonate levels; this
impairs the renal buffering capacity.
10. Precipitating factors of DKA in
pregnancy
• Insufficient or no insulin
• Protracted vomiting
• Hyperemesis gravidarum
• Starvation
• Infections
• Medications precipitating DKP
• Conditions such as diabetic gastroparesis
11. Diagnosis of DKA in pregnancy
• DKP may be
the first
presentatio
n of diabetes
in pregnancy
13. Pitfalls in DKA
• Potassium level may be falsely normal/elevated.
• High
– WBC count without infection.
– Blood urea with prerenal azotemia due to dehydration.
– Creatinine in absence of true impairment of renal function.
– Serum amylase even in absence of pancreatitis.
14. What is different in pregnancy?
• DKA occurs at lower blood
glucose level (Euglycaemic DKA)
• DKA can develop more rapidly
than in non-pregnant women
• Nausea and vomiting are common.
18. Multidisciplinary approach
Patient monitoring in HDU
Consider
1. IV line
2. Arterial line
3. Urinary catheter (if not
producing urine after 3
hours).
4. 4. Nasogastric tube (if
drowsy / vomiting).
ICU admission
• pH < 7.0
• Altered consciousness
• Poor response to acute
resuscitation
• More intensive
monitoring anticipated
(e.g. K+, intercurrent
illness)
19.
20. Management of DKA in pregnancy
Goals
1. Re-hydration (IV fluid therapy)
2. Normalization of serum glucose (IV insulin
therapy)
3. Electrolyte correction
4. Correction of acidemia (need for bicarbonate
administration)
5. Elimination of the underlying cause
6. Monitoring of maternal and fetal responses
21. -Hourly intake and output. Foley catheter ??
- Goal is correction of total fluid deficit over 12-24 hours.
- After BP and urine output stabilize may change fluids to 0.45 NS at
250-500 cc/hr and then may decrease infusion rate
- Avoid lactate-containing solution as this will aggravate acidosis.

23. Phosphate
• Not usually indicated.
• Considered if severe hypophosphataemia
(<0.35mmol/L) +/- cardiorespiratory
depression
24. Correction of acidosis
• The use of bicarbonate is
not recommended why?
1. Bicarbonate inhibits the
compensatory
hyperventilation → ↑ CO2
partial pressure → ↓ fetal
oxygen delivery
2. Paradoxical fall in CSF PH.
3. Delays the wash out of
ketones
4. Worsen hypokalaemia
• Consider
Bicarbonate:
1. PH < 6.9
2. PH < 7 with
homodynamic
instability
3. Hyperkalemia
with EG changes
• Limited
studies
28. Fetal considerations
b. Fetuses exposed to maternal acidosis, dehydration and
electrolyte disturbance (K+) may have:
Decreased variability and late decelerations or even fetal death.
The ominous patterns will typically correctable with correction of maternal
metabolic disturbance (4–8 hours) .
Maternal oxygen therapy is always useful in nonreassuring
fetal heart rate.
Fetal biophysical profile and Doppler studies may also reflect
the fetal acidotic status.
29. Fetal considerations
c. Delivery decision should be individualized according to:
– Maternal clinical status
– Gestational age
– The results of fetal investigations such as fetal heart
tracing.
d. Delivery of a compromised fetus should be
undertaken ONLY after the mother is
metabolically stable.
30. Fetal considerations
• Continue the pregnancy with complete resolution
of DKP.
• After complete resolution of DKP, further fetal
monitoring especially in preterm fetus is not
recommended.
Mode of delivery is guided by fetal ,maternal
and obstetrical indications.
31. Fetal considerations
Avoid use of Betamimetics and corticosteroids while
DKA is being controlled.
The best practice, however, is aimed at educating the
patient to avoid further recurrence of DKP, and an
increased surveillance to ensure adequate diabetic
control and compliance with treatment.
32. Take home message
1. DKA during pregnancy is a life-threatening
condition.
2. DKA may be the first presentation of DM during
pregnancy.
3. Rapid diagnosis with rapid initiation of a
multidisciplinary team management could help to
reduce maternal and fetal mortality, and morbidity.
4. Decreased variability and late decelerations or even
fetal death are common findings.
33. Take home message
5.The ominous patterns will typically
correctable with correction of maternal
metabolic disturbance.
6.Avoid use of Betamimetics and corticosteroids
while DKA is being controlled.
7.Delivery decision should be individualized.
8.Delivery should be undertaken ONLY after the
mother is metabolically stable.
34. Take home message
9. Continue the pregnancy with complete
resolution of DKA.
10. Mode of delivery is guided by fetal, maternal
and obstetrical indications.
11. Patient education will form the main
framework to reduce the risks associated
with DKA.
