Key Study: Controlled trial of Hartmann's solution versus 0.9% saline for diabetic ketoacidosis

Objective: We aimed to determine whether using a balanced salt solution, Hartmann's solution (HS), in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) shortens the time to normalise acid-base status through the avoidance of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis compared with 0.9% normal saline (NS).
