ECG changes in hypothermia from sepsis and unrelated to exposure

CE Drake and NC Flowers

The patient had classic ECG changes of hypothermia (sinus bradycardia, prolonged PR interval, prolonged QT interval, and Osborn waves). These changes occurred in hypothermia resulting from sepsis, without exposure being a factor. Documentation of Osborn waves in this clinical setting supports the theory that they result as a direct consequence of myocardial cooling.
