Base Deficit. Base deficit (BD) is a calculation, which can further quantify a patient’s acid-base status. The nomenclature requires some explanation-base deficit is the inverse of the standard base excess (SBE.) For example, a SBE of -6 and a BD of 6 are interpreted as a severe acidosis.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by excessive amounts of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that are pervasive, impairing in multiple contexts, and otherwise age-inappropriate.

ADHD is a disorder that is neurodevelopmental , which refers to the nervous system as it develops across the lifespan. It can cause inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity. 1 ADHD typically appears between the ages of 3 and 6 years old, with an average age of diagnosis at 7 years old.

Managing Diabetic ketoacidosis involves correction fluid loss with intravenous fluids, correction of hyperglycemia with insulin regimen, addressing electrolyte and acid-base imbalances, and management of infection if present. In relation to this, the most common complications of DKA often stem from the treatment options given to the patient.
