Pressure in the fascial compartment is elevated.

What is Acute Compartment Syndrome?

A closed osteofascial compartment experiences increased pressure, which impairs local circulation, causing acute compartment syndrome. Acute compartment syndrome, if left untreated, can result in ischemia and ultimately necrosis. When the pressure inside the muscles reaches dangerous heights, compartment syndrome, a painful disorder, develops. The reduced blood flow caused by this pressure inhibits nutrients and oxygen from reaching the nerve and muscle cells.

When there is swelling or bleeding inside a compartment, compartment syndrome develops. The capillaries, nerves, and muscles in the compartment may experience greater pressure as a result of the fascia's inability to stretch. Muscle and nerve cells experience a disruption in blood flow. Nerve and muscle cells might suffer harm from a lack of consistent oxygen and nutrients.

He was unable to move his foot and was in excruciating right tibia discomfort. the emergency medical technician should suspect Pressure in the fascial compartment is elevated.
