We report the case of a 77-year-old man, in whom accidental hypothermia was secondary to prolonged immobilization and malnutrition. The electrocardiogram showed typical Osborn waves, which disappeared with the rewarming of the patient. The diagnosis of hypothermia is easy in patients with a history of prolonged exposure to a cold environment but accidental hypothermia may also occur as a consequence of prolonged immobilization and malnutrition. ECG analysis is very important for a correct and fast diagnosis.
我们报告了一例 77 岁男性患者，其因长时间固定不动和营养不良导致意外低体温。心电图显示典型的 Osborn 波，随着患者复温而消失。在有长时间暴露于寒冷环境史的患者中，低温的诊断很容易，但意外低体温也可能因长时间固定不动和营养不良而发生。心电图分析对于正确和快速的诊断非常重要。
