- The study analyzed the effects of two neuromuscular blocking agents, succinylcholine and rocuronium, during rapid sequence intubation (RSI) performed by emergency medical services on patients without cardiac arrest.
- Both medications showed similar Cormack-Lehane grades (views during laryngoscopy) and first-attempt success rates, with 84% for succinylcholine and 83% for rocuronium.
- The time from drug administration to the first intubation attempt was shorter for succinylcholine (57 seconds) compared to rocuronium (83 seconds), and peri-intubation hypoxemia rates were comparable for both drugs, around 25% for succinylcholine and
Delayed diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome (ACS) can be catastrophic. Reporting abnormal presentations to facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment is vital. We present a case of ACS in the deep posterior compartment of the leg with an unusual presentation and cause.
