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 Presumably, this is the result of body shivering , that so often accompanies hypothermia once temperatures drop below 30-32°C ( = 86-90°F ).

Alexandra Schick ( with edits by Dr. Smith ) of an elderly woman who was seen in the ED for altered mental status, hyperthermia, and the initial ECG shown above. This case provides an excellent example of a “pseudo-infarction” ECG produced by a hyperthermia-induced Brugada-1 ECG pattern.

Previous triad of death = hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. Liver dysfunction, secondary cirrhosis, critical illness, trauma, and hypothermia reduce citrate metabolism. Hypothermia also leads to hypoCa. Today on the emDOCs cast with Brit Long, MD ( @long_brit) , we look at hypocalcemia in trauma and the diamond of death.

3-6 Clinical Presentation: Symptoms include altered mental status, tachycardia, hyperthermia, urinary retention, mydriasis, blurred vision, dry skin, hallucinations. Anticholinergic toxicity has overlap with other toxicological causes of hyperthermia which are reviewed here: Hyperthermia in the Toxicological Setting.

We have previously discussed hypothermia presentations , GBS infections , and HSV infections. 2019, there were 1,875 and this trend has continued to increase (2,157 case in 2020; 2,855 cases in 2021). doi: 10.1136/bcr-2020-240532. Fortunately, we have addressed many neonatal issues in the PedEMMorsels. BMJ Case Rep.
