Therapeutic Application of Carbon Monoxide in Acute Limb Compartment Syndrome
Acute limb compartment syndrome (CS), a devastating complication of musculoskeletal trauma, develops in response to elevation of the pressure within a closed osseofascial compartment, producing muscle- and limb-threatening ischemia. Full decompression of all involved compartments by fasciotomy is …

THE EFFECT OF SDF1α ON SKELETAL MUSCLE REGENERATION AFTER COMPARTMENT SYNDROME INJURY
… muscle function and tissue morphology in a rat compartment syndrome (CS) injury model. We have previously demonstrated that this model causes damage to muscular, vascular, and neural compartments as seen in patients[1]. Materials and Methods: Male Lewis rats (~12 months of age) were injured as …

PAIRING FASCIOTOMY AND SILICONE SPACER INSERTION WITH A RAT MODEL OF COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
… in the military and civilian populations. Compartment syndrome (CS) is a secondary injury, proceeding any primary injury that results in swelling and edema within the muscle fascicle compartment, which leads to occlusion of the tissue vasculature and, if left untreated, tissue necrosis and …

Functional outcomes and patient satisfaction after fasciotomy performed for chronic exertional compartment syndrome
Study Rationale: Chronic exertional compartment syndrome often forces patients to change their sporting activities or reduce their level of participation. Many undergo surgery with the aim to return to their activities symptom free. The aim of the study was to determine if fasciotomies for chronic …

Effect of Carbon Monoxide-Releasing Molecule-3 on the Severity of Endothelial Dysfunction Due to Elevation of Hydrostatic Pressure in an In Vitro Model of Compartment Syndrome
Compartment syndrome (CS) is a surgical emergency caused by elevated pressure within a closed osseofascial compartment. It leads to microvascular dysfunction, limiting oxygen and nutrient delivery, gas exchange, resulting in cellular anoxia, muscle necrosis and cell death. Currently, the only …

Penetrating femoral artery injuries : an urban trauma center experience
… was the result of a delayed fasciotomy for compartment syndrome post revascularisation of a threatened limb. The rest were due to prolonged ischemic time despite attempted revascularization. There were no deaths in this study. Univariate analysis showed that statistically significant risk …

The Role of Oxidative Stress in Skeletal Muscle Regeneration
… adult female Lewis rats were subjected to compartment syndrome injury by applying 120-140 mmHg compression for 3hrs. Half of the injured rats received NAC injected intramuscularly and the other half received equal volume of PBS at 24, 48, and 72hrs after injury. Myogenesis, angiogenesis, …

Development and initial evaluation of wireless self-monitoring pneumatic compression sleeves for preventing deep vein thrombosis in surgical patients
… For example, one patient developed acute compartment syndrome after wearing a pair of pneumatic compression sleeves with faulty pressure release valves. In another case, epidural analgesia masked a malfunction resulting from a reversed connection between four-way plastic tubing of the …
