Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is the result of decreased perfusion pressure (PP) and the diagnosis frequently requires invasive monitoring. Our objective was to test a new non-invasive ultrasound device for correlating PP with measurements of fascial displacement in a controlled porcine model of ACS. We hypothesized that fascial displacement in experimental compartments with impaired PP would be significantly greater than that in control compartments with normal baseline PP. ACS was generated in right anterior compartments of seven anesthetized pigs while contralateral compartments served as normal controls. Intramuscular pressure (IMP) in all compartments was monitored by slit catheters while IMP in experimental compartments was elevated in 10 mmHg increments by infusing 0.045% albumin in saline. A non-invasive ultrasound device continuously recorded fascial displacement corresponding to arterial pressure pulses in all compartments. Mean fascial displacement amplitude was grouped by PP and analyzed using two-way repeated measures ANOVA and contrast analysis. As PP ranged from 80 to -40 mmHg, the change in fascial displacement of the infused compartments was significantly greater than that in the control compartments (ANOVA, p = 0.03). At each PP increment between 40 and –20 mmHg, fascial displacement in the infused compartments was significantly greater than that in the control compartments (contrast analysis, p < 0.014). Fascial displacement is significantly greater in muscle compartments with decreased PP. Furthermore, changes in PP are associated with changes in fascial displacement over a clinically relevant range of PP, making this non-invasive technique potentially useful for monitoring in ACS.
