Point-of-Care Beta-Hydroxybutyrate Testing for Assessing Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Is anyone using point of care beta-hydroxybutyrate tests for assessing DKA? What are you using and can you provide your experience with it, lessons learned, verifications performed, etc., we are just in the beginning stages of being asked about this test in our freestanding emergency departments. Thanks so much in advance!
