Read the structure
The spoken 看把 or 瞧把 frame comments on an addressee's or another person's unusually intense state or action. 把 introduces the person being evaluated, and 得 introduces the degree or resulting condition. The frame expresses speaker stance, often an exhortation or warning. Keep the model 看/瞧 + 把 + Person + Verb/Adjective + 得 + Degree or Result visible while you compare each sentence.
看把你累得!
Look how exhausted you are!
Choose the right context
React to a person's visibly extreme state or action. Use 得 to name the degree or resulting condition. Use it as a spoken exclamation or warning with clear context.
瞧把孩子高兴得!
Look how happy the child is!
Respect the boundary
Do not treat 把 as an ordinary object-disposal marker here. Do not omit the person after 把. Do not label every 看 or 瞧 sentence as this construction.
看把累你得!
(Look 把 tired you de.)
Repair the pattern
The person is missing after 把: 把 must introduce the person whose state is being evaluated before the degree predicate. 得 is placed before the predicate: The degree marker 得 follows the verb or adjective describing the person's state.
看把你累得!
Use the repaired structure without changing the intended meaning.

看/瞧把NP V得 Questions
Is this the same 把 as in 把门关上?
No. Here 把 introduces the person whose state is being evaluated in a spoken exclamation; it is not ordinary object disposal.
Does 得 always mean a result?
It can introduce a degree or a resulting state. The context determines whether the speaker is describing intensity, consequence, or both.
