Hypothermia can result from exposure to a cold environment (e.g., accidental drowning) or it can be induced and used as a brain protection strategy (e.g., therapeutic hypothermia). One common ECG presentation with hypothermia is the J wave, which is related to the altered cellular activities during hypothermia. A case study is used in this article to illustrate the presentation of a J wave with a patient experiencing hypothermia.
体温过低可能是由于暴露在寒冷环境中(如意外溺水)引起的,也可以被诱导并用作一种脑保护策略(如治疗性低温)。体温过低时一种常见的心电图表现是J波,它与低温期间细胞活动的改变有关。本文通过一个病例研究来说明一名体温过低患者出现J波的情况。
