Abstract:
A hundred limbs of patients suffering limb trauma were assessed by at least two different reviewers for symptoms of compartment syndrome, both clinically, and by a simple, locally devised apparatus for pressure measurement. We have found the apparatus to be very effective, safe, reproducible and simple. Orthopaedic surgeons working in peripheral hospitals in the developing world can make use of this apparatus which costs less than 5 dollars to assemble. This technique may assist an early decision regarding surgical decompression at a peripheral hospital or referral to specialist unit, thus saving valuable time and expense.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
