Compartment syndrome results from increased intra-compartmental
pressure (ICP) causing local tissue ischaemia and cell death, but
the systemic effects are not well described. We hypothesised that
compartment syndrome would have a profound effect not only on the affected
limb, but also on remote organs. Using a rat model of compartment syndrome, its systemic effects
on the viability of hepatocytes and on inflammation and circulation
were directly visualised using intravital video microscopy.Aims
