Hyperosmotic Hyperglycaemic Syndrome (HHS)

PY Mindmaps
FANZCA Part II Notes
E-medicine (2009)
SP Notes
- three times less frequent than DKA
- deaths often due to co-morbid conditions (MI)
- higher mortality rate than DKA
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
- triggers: infection, MI, surgery, omission of normal medications
- decreased insulin or resistance -> decreased glucose utilisation in skeletal muscle, increased
fat and muscle breakdown
-> increased hepatic gluconeogenesis
-> increase in glucagon, cortisol, catecholamines
-> increased BSL
-> glycosuria + osmotic diuresis
-> just enough insulin to prevent lipolysis and ketone production
HISTORY
-
polydipsia
polyuria
weight loss
weakness
slow onset
progressive dehydration
coma
- causes: MI, infection, diuretics, CVA, PE
Risk factors
-
elderly
type II DM
mental obtundation/dementia
physical impairment limiting access to H2O
renal dysfunction
inappropriate diuretic use
steroids
beta-blockers
phenytoin
EXAMINATION
CVS – tachycardia, decreased skin turgor, sunken eyes, dry mouth
RESP – tachypnoea
Jeremy Fernando (2010)
CNS – drowsy, delirium, coma, focal or generalised seizures, visual changes, hemiparesis
INVESTIGATIONS
- very high osmolarity (> 320mosmol/kg)
- very high glucose
- little or no ketonuria (beta-hydroxybutyrate)
- hyponatraemia (or pseudohyponatraemia -> hyperglycaemia draws water out of cells) or
hypernatraemia
- hypokalaemia
- hypomagnesaemia
- normal anion gap
- ABG: pH normally > 7.3 (metabolic acidosis is not severe)
- normal level of ketones
- renal dysfunction commonly present
Diagnostic Criteria
-
serum osmolarity > 320mosmol/L
serum glucose > 33mmol/L
profound dehydration (elevated urea:creatinine ratio)
no ketoacidosis
Investigations for cause
-
CXR: chest infection
compliance with medication
ECG + TNT: MI
FBC
CRP
blood cultures
urine
MANAGEMENT
Goals
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
correct dehydration (often 6-9 L of H2O loss)
provide insulin
replace electrolytes
correct metabolic acidosis
Resuscitation
A – may require intubation if comatosed and not protecting airway
B – mechanical ventilation can minimise WOB and manage possible metabolic acidosis
C – resuscitate with isotonic fluid until patient has a normal heart rate and BP (see below for
H2O replacement) or can use colloids.
Treatment
Jeremy Fernando (2010)
Specific
(1) Calculate corrected Na+
- if hypernatraemic, the corrected Na+ = measured Na+ + glucose/3
- monitor this as Na+ changes for glucose
(2) Calculate H2O deficit
- H2O deficit = 0.6 x premorbid weight x (1 – 140/corrected Na+)
(3) Fluid management in first 24 hours
- maintenance as D5W at standard rate
- if hypernatraemic: replace half the H2O deficit over 24 hours using ½ normal saline.
(4) Monitor Na+ closely – should not change more than 10mmol in 24 hours
(5) Replace other electrolytes as required
-
K+ (often require aggressive replacement – 10-20mmol/hr, make sure not anuric)
Mg2+
PO43
Ca2+
(6) Fluid management in second 24 hours
- when glucose < 15mmol/L -> use D5W @ 100-250mL/hr AND saline
- keep Na+ between 140-150mmol/L
- the metabolic acidosis rarely requires specific treatment as responds to volume expansion
and insulin therapy.
General
-
insulin at 0.1U/kg/hr
do not allow blood glucose to drop by more than 3mmol/L/hr
once glucose <15mmol/L and corrected Na+ <150 mmol/L -> 10% dextrose
thromboprophylaxis (SCD’s, clexane, TEDS) -> high risk of VTE
diagnose cause and treat: infection, compliance, MI, CVA
Disposition
- needs management in ICU
- endocrine/general medical referral
- family informed
Complication Management
-
delirium -> coma
cerebral oedema (prevent by resuscitation with isotonic fluid and slow correction of glucose)
seizures (focal and generalized)
severe dehydration and shock
Jeremy Fernando (2010)
- renal failure
- thrombotic complications: VTE, stroke, AMI
- intercurrent events: sepsis, MI, aspiration
- occlusive events: focal CNS signs, chorea, DIC, leg ischaemia, rhabdomyolysis
- fluid overload and congestive heart failure
- metabolic derangement: hypokalaemia, hypophosphataemia, hypomagnesaemia,
hypoglycaemia, hyperchloraemia with NAGMA
