ABSTRACT

La onda J de Osborn es una deflexión que se inscribe en el electrocardiograma (ECG) entre el complejo QRS y el inicio del segmento ST. La onda J tiene una alta sensibilidad y especificidad en la hipotermia, aunque no es patognomónica. Se han descrito casos en la hemorragia subaracnoidea, la hipercalcemia, la isquemia cardíaca aguda y la hipotermia severa. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino, alcohólico, encontrado en situación de bajo nivel de conciencia por sobredosificación de alcohol, que desarrolló un cuadro de hipotermia con la presencia de una onda de Osborn en el electrocardiograma sin bradicardia asociada (AU).


The Osborn´s J wave is a deflection inscribed in the electrocardiogram (ECG) between the QRS complex and the beginning of the ST segment. The J wave shows a high sensibility and specificity in the hypothermia, although it is not patognomonic. Cases have been described in subarachnoid hemorrhage, hypercalcemia, acute cardiac ischemia and severe hypothermia. The case of an alcoholic, male patient is presented. He was found in a situation of a low awareness level due to alcohol overdoses, and developed hypothermia with the presence of an Osborn´s wave in the electrocardiogram without associated bradycardia (AU).
