The progression of a J wave during induction of hypothermia.
نویسنده
چکیده
J waves can commonly be seen in patients with severe hypothermia. Fig. 1 shows an ECG recording of a patient undergoing coronary artery revascularisation with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. The purple recording shows the ECG with a small, existing J wave early during the initiation of cooling. The green overlay demonstrates the accentuation of the J wave as the patient was further cooled to 29°C.

Impact of Mild Hypothermia on the Recovery of Patients with Acute Stroke
Background and Objective: Hypothermia induction has been proposed to improve the recovery process of stroke in the last two decades. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mild hypothermia on the recovery of patients with acute stroke. Materials and Methods: This single-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 60 patients with acute stroke in 2018 in Hamadan,...
متن کاملNitric oxide in the nucleus raphe magnus modulates cutaneous blood flow in rats during hypothermia
Objective(s): Nucleus Raphe Magnus (NRM) that is involved in the regulation of body temperature contains nitric oxide (NO) synthase. Considering the effect of NO on skin blood flow control, in this study, we assessed its thermoregulatory role within the raphe magnus. Materials and Methods: To this end, tail blood flow of male Wistar rats was measured by laser doppler following the induction of ...
متن کاملEffect of Hypothermia Prevention Program on Shivering and Recovery Time in Patients Undergoing Abdominal Surgery
Background and purpose: Hypothermia is a common complication during anesthesia and surgery which leads to complications such as shivering, delay in recovery, and prolonged hospital stay. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of hypothermia prevention program on shivering and recovery time in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Materials and methods: This single-blind...
متن کاملHypothermic activity of acetaminophen; Involvement of GABAA receptor, theoretical and experimental studies
Objective(s):The mechanism of hypothermia action of acetaminophen (APAP) remains unclear even 125 years after its synthesis. Acetaminophen produces hypothermia. The mechanism of this reduction in core body temperature is not clear but evidence shows that it is not dependent on opioid and cannabinoid receptors. Because of strong documents about the roles of GABA and benzodiazepine receptors in h...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Effect of Amino Acid Administration on Hypothermia during General Anesthesia in Hypospadias Surgery on Children Aged 2 to 6 Years
Background: Hypothermia is an important complication during surgery, especially in children and is highly associated with serious adverse outcomes. One of the preventive methods is the intraoperative administration of amino acids, which can be effective through increasing thermogenesis and stimulating energy consumption. No studies have been conducted in this regard on children; therefore, we e...
