    The document discusses compartment syndrome, which occurs when pressure builds within the muscles, restricting blood flow. It focuses on acute compartment syndrome of the lower leg, the most common location. The main causes are severe trauma, bleeding, or compression. Clinical signs include pain, numbness, pale skin, absent pulse, and paralysis. Without treatment, it can lead to necrosis, nerve damage, or rhabdomyolysis. Diagnosis involves measuring compartment pressure and checking for related lab abnormalities. Treatment requires removing any casts or pressure and potentially performing a fasciotomy or amputation.

    CASE STUDY

    COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
    Group B
    COMPARTMENT
    this refers to the separate functions of
    the body which contain: muscles,
    nerves, and blood vessels
    which are surrounded by a layer of

    COMPARTMENT fibrous connective tissue which is


    called fascia.

    SYNDROME FASCIA
    thin, inelastic sheet of connective
    tissue that surrounds muscle
    compartments and limits the capacity
    for rapid expansion.

    SYNDROME COMPARTMENT SYNDROME


    a painful condition that occurs when
    pressure within the muscles builds to
    dangerous levels
    increased pressure within our muscles
    decreased blood flow
    it will lead to tissue damage due to hypoxia
    & schemia
    ACUTE COMPARTMENT SYNDROME CHRONIC COMPARTMENT SYNDROME

    having severe symptoms for a also known as exertion


    short period of time compartment syndrome
    medical emergency usually not a medical emergency
    usually caused by a severe often caused by athletic exertion
    injury and extremely painful reversible with rest
    without treatment it can lead
    to permanent damage
    MAIN TOPIC

    ACUTE COMPARTMENT
    SYNDROME
    in the LOWER LEG
    WHY LOWER LEG?
    compartment syndrome most
    often affects the muscles in the
    lower legs and forearms.
    In the leg, there are four muscle
    compartments: anterior, lateral,
    deep posterior, and superficial
    posterior. The anterior
    compartment of the leg is the
    most common location for
    compartment syndrome.
    COMMON CAUSES OF ACUTE COMPARTMENT
    SYNDROME

    Bleeding within the compartment


    Limb compression
    OTHER CAUSES OF ACUTE COMPARTMENT
    SYNDROME

    severe circumferential burns


    reperfusion injury
    FACTORS THAT PUTS A CLIENT AT AN
    INCREASED RISK OF ACUTE COMPARTMENT
    SYNDROME

    Severe trauma
    Penetrating injury
    Motor vehicle crash
    Burn injury
    IV fluids
    High risk of bleeding
    Compression
    5 P'S: CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF
    INCREASING PRESSURE

    PAIN
    PARESTHESIA
    PALLOR
    PULSELESSNESS
    PARALYSIS
    COMPLICATIONS

    1. NECROSIS AND GANGRENE


    2. RHABDOMYOLYSIS
    3. NERVE DAMAGE
    DIAGNOSIS

    1. Compartment Pressure > 30 mmHg


    handheld manometer
    delta pressure ( diastolic pressure - compartment pressure)
    < 30 mmHg
    2. X-RAYS, CT-SCAN, MRI & ULTRASOUND
    3. LABORATORY TEST
    complete blood count
    DIAGNOSIS

    RHABDOMYOLYSIS
    LABORATORY WORK UP
    = it can show elevated levels of creatine kinase and myoglobin
    urinalysis
    = can show tea-colored urine
    TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT

    1. CAST REMOVAL
    2. FASCIOTOMY
    3. AMPUTED
