|
compartment syndrome
|
elevated intracompartmental pressure within a confined myofascial comparment copromises the neurovascular function of tissues within that space
causes capillary perfusion to vbe reduced below a level necessary for tiessue viability MEDICAL EMERGENCY! |
|
two types of compartment syndrome
|
1) caused by bandage too tight, restricted splints
2) increased pressure r/t bleeding, edema, IV infiltatrion |

pain pulselessness parathesia pressure paralysis |
|
urine output monitoring for ..... in compartment syndrome
|
myoglobin released from damaged muscle cells
gel-like substance causing obstruction in renal tubbules due to high Molecular wt can cuase acute tubular necrosis leading to ARF |
|

assess for cuases surgical fasciotomy NO ICE NO ELEVATION |
|
importance of exercise with OA, OP
|
OA: increases strength of muscles which will help with improved ROM and fxn
OP: wt baring exercises help with bone strength and bone mass |
|
clinical manifestations of OA
|
joint pain which can be relieved with rest (in early stages)
pain early in AM (usually relieved within 30 min) pain with reduced atm pressure joint stiffness following rest or prolonged sitting crepidation unilateral bouchard's nodes (PIP) herberden's nodes (DIP) |
|
OA
|
deterioration of articular cartilage
cartiage distruction > production cartilage bone erode causing ostephites develop causing narrowed joint space |
