LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
• DEFINITION OF ME
• PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF ME
• SPECIFIC ETIOLOGIES OF ME
• CLINICAL MANIFESTASION
• TREATMEN OF ME
• Metabolic encephalopathy is defined as a potentially reversible abnormality of
brain function caused by processes of extracerebral origin
• Confusion is clinically defined as the inability to maintain a coherent stream of
thought or action.
• Delirium is a confusional state with superimposed hyperactivity of the
sympathetic limb of the autonomic nervous system with consequent signs
including tremor, tachycardia, diaphoresis, and mydriasis.
• Acute toxic-metabolic encephalopathy (TME), which encompasses
delirium and the acute confusional state, is an acute condition of
global cerebral dysfunction in the absence of primary structural brain
disease
• TME is common among critically ill patients.
• Furthermore, TME is probably under-recognized and undertreated,
especially when it occurs in patients who require mechanical
ventilation
• TME is usually a consequence of systemic illness, and the causes of TME
are diverse.
• Most TME is reversible, making prompt recognition and treatment
important.
• Certain metabolic encephalopathies, including those caused by
sustained hypoglycemia and thiamine deficiency (Wernicke’s
encephalopathy), may result in permanent structural brain damage if
untreated.
• Alcohol withdrawal syndromes must be excluded in patients with
suspected TME.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
• DEFINITION OF ME
• PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF ME
• CLINICAL MANIFESTASION OF ME
• SPECIFIC ETIOLOGY OF ME
• TREATMENT OF ME
• Normal neuronal activity requires a balanced environment of
electrolytes, water, amino acids, excitatory and inhibitory
neurotransmitters, and metabolic substrates
• normal blood flow, normal temperature, normal osmolality, and
physiologic pH are required for optimal central nervous system
function
• Complex systems, including those mediating arousal and awareness
and those involved in higher cognitive functions, are more likely to
malfunction when the local milieu is deranged
• All forms of acute TME interfere with the function of the ascending
reticular activating system and/or its projections to the cerebral
cortex, leading to impairment of arousal and/or awareness
• Ultimately, the neurophysiologic mechanisms of TME include
interruption of polysynaptic pathways and altered excitatory-
inhibitory amino acid balance
• The pathophysiology of TME varies according to the underlying
etiology

2018 Diabetes Canada CPG – Chapter 14. Hypoglycemia
Risk factors for severe hypoglycemia in people treated with sulfonylureas or insulin
SEVERITY OF HYPOGLICEMIA
• Mild
– Autonomic symptoms present
– Individual is able to self-treat
• Moderate
– Autonomic and neuroglycopenic symptoms
– Individual is able to self-treat
• Severe
– Requires the assistance of another person
– Unconsciousness may occur
– Plasma glucose is typically <2.8 mmol/L

2. Retest in 15 minutes to ensure the BG >4.0 mmol/L and retreat with a further 15 g of carbohydrate if
needed
3. Once conscious, eat usual snack or meal due at that time of day or a snack with 15 g carbohydrate plus
protein
