DKA was confirmed using laboratory tests. Emergency cesarean delivery was performed for NRFS before complete stabilization. Metabolic management was conducted by endocrinologists and anesthesiologists. Combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) was intraoperatively administered by anesthesiologists with real-time hemodynamic and metabolic management guided by arterial blood gas analysis using an arterial line while continuing insulin and glucose therapy. Postoperatively, metabolic derangements resolved, and the mother and neonate were discharged without complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case demonstrates that emergency cesarean delivery for uncorrected DKA can be achieved using CSEA, timely hemodynamic support, and coordinated metabolic management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40981-025-00832-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,29]],"date-time":"2025-12-29T15:16:05Z","timestamp":1767021365000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Perioperative management of emergency cesarean delivery in a pregnant woman with uncorrected diabetic ketoacidosis: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Satoshi","family":"Naruse","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takaki","family":"Kasai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Momoka","family":"Kojima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Ueda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chieko","family":"Akinaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoshiki","family":"Nakajima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"7","key":"832_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1335","DOI":"10.2337\/dc09-9032","volume":"32","author":"AE Kitabchi","year":"2009","unstructured":"Kitabchi AE, Umpierrez GE, Miles JM, Fisher JN.
