On arrival, CPR was continued and core temperature was measured at 18° C (64.4° First described in 1953 ( by Dr. John Osborn ) — these Osborn waves are most commonly associated with significant hypothermia ( usually not seen until core temperature is below 90°F ). Chest compressions and ventilation were begun.
