RESUMO
Three patients with hyperosmolar hyperglycemic non-ketotic diabetic coma (HHNKDC) following open-heart surgery are presented. Because the symptoms of HHNKDC are not specific, it is difficult to recognize this unique complication in the early postoperative stage. The mortality rate of this complication is high. Thus, HHNKDC should be recognized as early as possible after open-heart surgery, since it is curable if diagnosed at an early stage.
