Correlation of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Direct Pressure Monitoring in an Acute Porcine Compartmental Syndrome Model

Abstract

NIRS provided a sensitive measure correlating to both an increase and decrease in TICP and TIPP, respectively, in this infusion model. The addition of blunt trauma to the model did not alter the correlations of NIRS values with TICP and TIPP. Fasciotomy produced a rebound in oxygenation values.
