When a crush injury, a car accident, or a sports injury occurs, it raises the question, Does this patient have compartment syndrome. Confirming compartment syndrome quickly and confidently can be difficult. Often, the current capital equipment is unavailable or locked up, and the consumable components are expired. Combine that with a surgeon in a scheduled procedure and the delays in treatment grow longer.

Confirming compartment syndrome quickly and confidently can be difficult. Often, the current capital equipment is unavailable or locked up. The consumables are expired. Combine that with a surgeon in a scheduled procedure and the delays in treatment grow longer.

Delays and indecision regarding the treatment of compartment syndrome can lead to serious complications. Nerves and tissue can die and muscles can be damaged quickly:

 

 

With compartment syndrome, early detection is vitally important. For patients who receive an early fasciotomy:
