ECG changes in hypothermia from sepsis and unrelated to exposure.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

ECG Changes Due to Hypothermia Developed After Drowning: Case Report
Drowning is one of the fatal accidents frequently encountered during the summer and is the most common cause of accidental death in the world. Anoxia, hypothermia, and metabolic acidosis are mainly responsible for morbidty. Cardiovascular effects may occur secondary to hypoxia and hypothermia. Atrial fibrillation, sinus dysrhythmias (rarely requiring treatment), and, in serious cases, ventricul...

متن کاملHypothermia prolongs activation of NF-kappaB and augments generation of inflammatory cytokines.
While moderate hypothermia is protective against ischemic cardiac and brain injury, it is associated with much higher mortality in patients with sepsis. We previously showed that in vitro exposure to moderate hypothermia (32 degrees C) delays the induction and prolongs the duration of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta secretion by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human mononuclear phagocytes. In the pr...
متن کاملHypothermia protects brain mitochondrial function from hypoxemia in a murine model of sepsis
Sepsis is commonly associated with brain dysfunction, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, although mitochondrial dysfunction and microvascular abnormalities have been implicated. We therefore assessed whether cerebral mitochondrial dysfunction during systemic endotoxemia in mice increased mitochondrial sensitivity to a further bioenergetic insult (hyoxemia), and whether hypothermia co...
متن کاملNeonatal Sepsis: An Update
Sepsis is the most common cause of neonatal mortality. As per National Neonatal-Perinatal Database (NNPD), 2002-2003, the incidence of neonatal sepsis in India was 30 per 1000 live births. Signs and symptoms of sepsis are nonspecific; therefore empirical antimicrobial therapy is promptly initiated after obtaining appropriate cultures. The early manifestations of neonatal sepsis are vague and il...
