Compartment Syndrome: Causes, 症狀 ＆ 治療

What Is Compartment Syndrome?

Compartment syndrome describes a group of muscles, nerves, and blood vessels that are experiencing excessive pressure and fluid build up in the arm or leg.  The fascia, connective tissue, helps to hold all of these compartments in our body together.  Excessive pressure from an injury could be pressing on the compartment causing decreased blood flow to and from the nerves and muscles.  Compartment Syndrome can be either acute or chronic, is a medical emergency, and is usually caused by a sever injury.  If compartment syndrome is not treated it can lead to permanent muscle damage.
