A hypothermic case with giant Osborn waves and atrial fibrillation after using synthetic cannabinoidDOI: 10.14744/AnatolJCardiol.2015.6856 Abstract: Hypothermia is a condition wherein the body temperature drops below 35°C when an individual is unconscious. In prolonged moderate hypothermia (28–32°C), progressive drops in the pulse rate and increases in atrial and ventricular arrhythmia and Osborn waves are observed in electrocardiography (ECG). Unconsciously, staying outside for an extended time in extreme cold is the most important cause of hypothermia. In recent years, a significant social problem is the increase in the number of people using synthetic cannabinoids (SC) in public places. A frequent result of SC use is severe deterioration in consciousness and perception
