These are Osborn waves usually associated with hypothermia. See our other blog posts of hypothermia and Osborn waves -- Massive Osborn Waves of Severe Hypothermia (23.6 After an initially narrow QRS, there is a very large abnormal extra wave at the end of the QRS complex. There is also large T wave inversion and long QT.

Some authors recommend not starting chest compressions in hypothermia unless there is no organized cardiac activity (e.g., 2 In reality you may start compressions before you confirm that hypothermia was the primary cause of cardiac arrest. Obtaining a core temperature early in any arrest suspected to be from hypothermia is key.
