Article Synopsis
- Compartment syndrome can arise from serious burns, particularly high voltage electrical burns, leading to tissue damage and potential necrosis without prompt treatment, which is emergency surgical decompression.
- Diagnosing compartment syndrome is challenging due to bulky dressings on the burned patient, prompting the use of a pressure transducer commonly found in arterial catheters to measure muscle compartment pressures accurately.
- The pressure measurement process is quick and straightforward, allowing for timely diagnosis and assessment of compartment syndrome, with an established threshold pressure of 35 mmHg to guide treatment decisions.
Split-thickness meshed skin graft is frequently used in the treatment of acute burns. We studied the effect of the type of basement preparation on graft intake and healing time. We retrospectively analysed 1,129 meshed grafts used in the treatment of acute burns between 1995 and 2005.
