Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) after revascularization for acute limb ischemia is a potentially limb-threatening condition and requires urgent fasciotomy. It occurs when the tissue pressure within a closed muscle compartment exceeds the perfusion pressure and results in muscle and nerve ischemia.
If clinically suspected, intra- compartmental pressure (ICP) is measured by inserting a needle into the area of ACS, usually the anterior tibial muscle compartment, while an attached pressure monitor records the pressure. This invasive diagnostic method is widely used as a standard with a sensit...
