Abstract

The Osborn (J) wave refers to a dome-shaped deflection on the electrocardiogram, that appears as a late delta wave following the QRS complex or as a small secondary R wave (R'). A 25-year-old man was found unconscious in the open in cold and snowy weather. Electrocardiogram obtained on admission showed atrial fibrillation with a normal ventricular rate, increased duration of the QRS complex and the QT interval, and the J wave in all derivations. Rectal temperature was measured as 27.1 °C. In addition, cranial tomography showed subdural hematoma in the left parietal region. Treatment for subdural hematoma and hypothermia resulted in normal sinus rhythm and disappearance of the J wave on the electrocardiogram obtained in the 24th hour. However, he developed brain death due to deterioration in the intracerebral pathology at 30 hours

Özet

Osborn (J) dalgası, elektrokardiyogramda QRS kompleksini izleyen geç delta dalgası olarak veya küçük sekonder R dalgası (R') olarak izlenen kubbe görünümlü bir defleksiyondur. Soğuk ve karlı bir havada bilinci kapalı olarak bulunan 25 yaşında erkek hastanın elektrokardiyogramında normal ventrikül hızlı atriyal fibrilasyon, QRS kompleksi ve QT aralığında uzama ve tüm derivasyonlarda belirgin Osborn (J) dalgası görüldü. Hastanın rektal vücut ısısı 27.1 °C ölçüldü. Ayrıca, kraniyal tomografide sol parietal alanda subdural hematom saptandı. Subdural hematom ve hipotermiye yönelik tedaviler sonucunda 24. saatte çekilen EKG’de normal sinus ritmi sağlandı ve Osborn dalgaları kayboldu. Ancak, intraserebral patolojinin kötüleşmesi nedeniyle 30. saatte hastada beyin ölümü gelişti.
