Brief Summary

Muscular compartment syndrome (MCS) is consecutive to an increase in intramuscular compartment pressures, and is a rare but serious postoperative complication. The INVOS (In Vivo Optical Spectroscopy) monitors tissular oxygenation continuously and non-invasively. The objective is to develop a model mimicking the physiopathology of MCS to assess the interest of the INVOS in this case.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Comparison Between INVOS Monitoring and Electromyography

    A comparison will be made between the INVOS monitoring and non invasive (transcutaneous) EMG monitoring (AP Block), to determine the accuracy of the INVOS monitoring to predict AP block. Measures were: \[mean (SD)\] INVOS (in %) value at baseline and at the time of the block

    45 minutes

  • Intracompartmental Pressure (ICP)

    \[mean (SD)\] ICP (in mmHg), value at baseline and at the time of the block

    45 minutes

Study Arms (1)

Tourniquet

EXPERIMENTAL

Inflation of a tourniquet

Device: TourniquetDevice: INVOS assessmentDevice: EMG assessment

Interventions

Inflation of a tourniquet (pressure equal to the mean arterial pressure) obtaining a model of slight venous congestion and arterial hypoperfusion

Tourniquet

Near Infraread spectroscopy, non invasive

Tourniquet

Electromyography, non invasive

Tourniquet
