Correlation Between Muscle Oxygenation and Compartment Pressures in Acute Compartment Syndrome of the Leg

Abstract

Normalized near-infrared spectroscopy values decrease significantly with decreasing lower limb perfusion pressures. Near-infrared spectroscopy may be capable of differentiating between injured patients with and without an acute compartment syndrome.
