Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis in a Sedated Patient after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Case Report and Literature Review

Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) is a rare and serious adverse effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i). The diagnosis is challenging due to the rarity, nonspecific symptoms, and absence of the alarmingly high blood glucose levels, and thus, it could be initially missed r...
