The author presents a practical guide for diagnosis and management of some common emergencies. The most common are hypoglycaemia in persons with diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis and non-ketotic hyperosmolar diabetic coma. Acute adrenocortical failure is also quite common. These three conditions can be presented in persons with diagnosed disease. Therefore prevention should be possible with proper education. In rare cases the emergency situation is the presenting symptom. Thyreotoxic crisis, myxoedema coma and hypercalcemic crisis are less common. A high level of suspicion is important for early diagnosis and successful treatment of these conditions.
作者提供了一份关于一些常见急症诊断和管理的实用指南。最常见的是糖尿病患者的低血糖、糖尿病酮症酸中毒和非酮症高渗性糖尿病昏迷。急性肾上腺皮质功能减退也相当常见。这三种情况可出现在已确诊疾病的患者中。因此，通过适当的教育应该可以预防。在罕见情况下，紧急情况是首发症状。甲状腺危象、黏液性水肿昏迷和高钙血症危象则不太常见。高度怀疑对于这些情况的早期诊断和成功治疗很重要。
