Abstract

Hypothermia, accompanied with various electrocardiographic changes, is defined as the fall of body temperature below 35ºC. Different electrocardiographic changes and clinical findings can be seen by the severity of hypothermia. Prominent electrocardiographic evidence is J (Osborn) wave. In this case presentation, we report an unconscious patient seen at emergency department located in a warm city and significance of electrocardiographic finding following initial physical examination and evaluation.

Özet

Hipotermi, çeşitli elektrokardiyografik değişikliklerin eşlik ettiği, vücut merkez sıcaklığının 35ºC’nin altına düşmesidir. Hipoterminin derecesine göre değişik elektrokardiyografik ve klinik bulgular görülür. En belirgin, patognomonik elektrokardiyografik bulgusu J dalgasıdır (Osborn dalgası). Bu olgu sunumunda, sıcak iklimin hakim olduğu Akdeniz kıyısındaki bir acil servise bilinci kapalı olarak getirilen hastada, ilk fizik bakı ve değerlendirme esnasında çekilen elektrokardiyografinin tanıdaki önemi vurgulanmıştır.
