2023年3月9日 · Compartment syndrome occurs when increased pressure within a compartment compromises the circulation and function of the tissues within that space [1,2]. Compartment syndrome may occur acutely, often following trauma, or as a chronic syndrome, seen most often in athletes, that presents as insidious pain.

2023年12月18日 · Compartment syndrome happens when an injury or repeated stress causes swelling and bleeding inside a muscle compartment. If the pressure builds too much, your muscles press against the fascia that holds them in place.

2019年9月3日 · Compartment syndrome is the result of fascial compartment pressures surpassing perfusion pressure, causing tissue ischemia and eventual necrosis [2]. After a local insult, traumatic or others, volume increases to a compartment from bleeding or inflammation, leading to the onset of local tissue edema as a result.

Symptoms of acute compartment syndrome (ACS) include severe pain, decreased blood flow, decreased movement, numbness, and a pale limb. [5] . It is most often due to physical trauma, like a bone fracture (up to 75% of cases) or a crush injury. [3][6] It can also occur after blood flow returns following a period of poor circulation. [4] .

Compartment syndrome is an elevation of intracompartmental pressure to a level that impairs circulation. While the most common etiology is trauma, other less common etiologies such as burns, emboli, and iatrogenic injuries can be equally troublesome and challenging to diagnose.

2023年12月17日 · Compartment syndrome occurs when excessive pressure builds up inside an enclosed muscle space in the body. The condition usually results from bleeding or swelling after an injury. The...

Compartment syndrome is a painful condition that occurs when pressure within the muscles builds to dangerous levels. This pressure can decrease blood flow, which prevents nourishment and oxygen from reaching nerve and muscle cells. Compartment syndrome can be either acute (having severe symptoms for a short period of time) or chronic (long ...

2023年7月6日 · Acute compartment syndrome is a devastating condition caused by raised pressure within a facial compartment leading to decreased perfusion with risk of irreversible muscle and nerve damage. Epidemiology • Trauma (fractures 69%3, crush injuries, burns, contusions, gunshot wounds) • External compression (tight casts & dressings)

Compartment syndrome occurs when the pressure within a closed osteo-fascial muscle compartment rises above a critical level. This critical level is the tissue pressure which collapses the capillary bed and prevents low-pressure blood …
