Portable Oxygen-Sensing Device for the Improved Assessment of Compartment Syndrome and other Hypoxia-Related Conditions [PDF]
ACS Sensors 2021 6 (1), 43-53, 2022 Measurement of intramuscular oxygen could play a key role in the early diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome, a common condition occurring after severe trauma leading to ischemia and long-term consequences including rhabdomyolysis, limb loss, and death. However, to date, there is no existing oxygen sensor approved for such a purpose.
