Acute Compartment Syndrome
The Use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy in the Diagnosis of Acute Compartment Syndrome in Injured Soldiers
The purpose of this study is to define the reliability and accuracy of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in the detection of intra-compartmental tissue perfusion in injured and noninjured extremities over time.

Acute Compartment Syndrome
Ability of Near Infrared Spectroscopy to Isolate Compartments of the Extremity
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides a non-invasive means of continuously monitoring tissue oxygenation, which may be useful for diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome (ACS).

Acute Compartment Syndrome
Use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy to Detect Muscle Perfusion in the Lower Extremity of Uninjured Subjects
Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is a complication of lower leg trauma that occurs when the pressure inside the leg due to swelling exceeds the body's ability to provide blood to the muscle of the leg.
