Official Title: Two Bag System vs. One Bag System for Hydration Patients With Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Brief Summary: This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the time needed to get the conditions to space hourly controls to controls every 4 hours, using the one bag system versus the two bags system, in the initial treatment of children with diabetic ketoacidosis. After fast infusion of isotonic saline solution (20 ml/kg) to prevent shock, the administration of maintenance fluids and insulin therapy is indicated. Hourly plasmatic levels of glucose controls could determine changes in glucose IV administration. On using the classic one bag system each change determine a bag change. Using the two bag system allows to deliver the patient the appropriate glucose infusion in less time.
