Noninvasive Measurements of Pressure for Detecting Compartment Syndromes. [PDF]
BACKGROUND We tested a noninvasive ultrasound, Pulse Phase Locked Loop (PPLL) technique for estimating Intramuscular Pressure (IMP) in a model Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS); and compared it to a Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) method. QUESTIONS We
