Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) occurs when compartment pressures increase to compromise circulation and tissue function. Human limbs are especially susceptible to ACS due to the separation of muscle groups by fascial membranes. Trauma to a limb, such as a crush injury, fractures, or overuse, can lead to swelling within a compartment that can increase rapidly and result in ACS. This activity reviews the presentation, evaluation, and management of skeletal muscle compartment syndrome and stresses the role of an interprofessional team approach to caring for affected patients.
