Clinical Trial: Study of New Catheter & Pressure Monitor System to Help Prevent Compartment Syndrome From Developing in the Injured Leg

Study Status: Active, not recruiting
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: Randomized Clinical Trial of Tissue Ultrafiltration and Pressure Monitoring for the Diagnosis and Prevention of Compartment Syndrome

Brief Summary: An investigation of a new catheter and pressure monitor system that may help to prevent a complication called compartment syndrome from developing in an injured leg. Compartment syndrome occurs when too much fluid builds up in the muscles of the injured leg. This causes a lot of swelling and increases pressures within the leg that can cause permanent damage muscles and nerves in the leg.
