Correlation between muscle oxygenation and compartment pressures in acute compartment syndrome of the leg.
BACKGROUND Near-infrared spectroscopy estimates soft-tissue oxygenation approximately 2 to 3 cm below the skin. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate muscle oxygenation in the setting of an acute compartment syndrome of the leg and to determine if near-infrared spectroscopy is capable of detecting perfusion deficits. METHODS Fourteen patients with unilateral lower extremity trauma ...
متن کاملPain and combat injuries in soldiers returning from Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom: implications for research and practice.
Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) have resulted in a growing number of seriously injured soldiers who are evacuated to the United States for comprehensive medical care. Trauma-related pain is an almost universal problem among these war-injured soldiers, and several military and Department of Veterans Affairs initiatives have been implemented to enhance pain care...

متن کاملThoracic injuries in US combat casualties: a 10-year review of Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.
BACKGROUND Mortality from thoracic injuries has declined significantly from 63% in the Civil War to 3% in Vietnam. We reviewed the injury patterns, procedures, blood products, and mortality of US soldiers sustaining a thoracic injury during Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF). METHODS Data on US soldiers with a thoracic injury during OEF/OIF from January 2003 to May 2011 wa...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the occurrence of compartment syndrome and the results of fasciotomy in vascular surgical patients. DESIGN Retrospective study of case records from 1980-1994. MATERIALS Fifty-seven limbs in 53 patients had fasciotomies following surgical revascularisation. Fifty-three (93%) limbs were acutely ischaemic, while four (7%) had undergone elective vascular surgery. Forty-...
