Popis: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are an emerging class of oral hypoglycaemic agents with therapeutic benefits beyond better glycaemic control. A major concern of the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors is their propensity to cause euglycaemic ketoacidosis in the peri-operative period and the potential for this critical diagnosis to be delayed or missed entirely. This review attempts to collate the case reports of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor ketoacidosis associated with surgery to highlight and put a perspective on this peri-operative issue. Preventive strategies and the management of the ketoacidosis are discussed.
