Osborn waves during therapeutic hypothermia and recurrence of fatal arrhythmia in patients resuscitated following sudden cardiac arrest.
This study investigates the impact of the occurrence of Osborn waves during therapeutic hypothermia (TH) on the recurrence of future fatal arrhythmias in patients resuscitated after sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). ⋯ Osborn waves during TH had no significant effect on the survival and cerebral function of patients resuscitated SCA. However, appropriate ICD shocks due to the recurrence of VF were more frequent in patients with Osborn waves during long-term follow-up.
