Detecting Subtle Osborn Waves in Hypothermia: A Case Report

检测体温过低患者体内细微的奥斯本波:病例报告

阅读:1

Abstract

J waves, or Osborn waves, are a notable EKG finding in hypothermia, often appearing as prominent deflections but sometimes manifesting subtly. We report a 78-year-old female with moderate hypothermia (87.9°F) presenting with sinus bradycardia and subtle J waves on her EKG. After rewarming, these J waves resolved. Hypothermia management should prioritize gentle handling to avoid arrhythmias and ensure rapid rewarming during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Continuous monitoring is crucial, as J waves can indicate a higher risk of ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest.
