Excerpt

The muscular compartment syndrome (MCS) is consecutive to an increase in intramuscular compartment pressures [1].This is a rare but serious postoperative complication. In vivo optical spectroscopy (INVOS) monitors tissular oxygenation continuously and non-invasively. Our objective was to develop a model mimicking the physiopathology of MCS and to assess the interest of the INVOS in this case [13]. …
