Abstract:

A 19-year-old male patient was hospitalized with coma with extremely high blood sugar levels. Low blood potassium, shock, acidosis and cardiac arrest in the course of disease, the rescue is successful but there are limb extremity dysfunctions. The lessons are that we should be alert to those comatose emergency patients with hyperglycemia, which could make them lethal in the short term. So we should need to fight against the time to heal them, not to delay the prime time of treatment for inspection. In addition, the peripheral neuropathy is a rare, possibly associated with multiple factors.
