[Postural crush syndrome].

The clinic of such injuries is characterized by marked local manifestations (solid progressive edema of the injured limb leading frequently to decompensated ischemia) and a high incidence of acute renal insufficiency. Hemostatic disorders are manifested in hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, hypocalcemia, cell-extracell transfer of electrolytes, metabolic disorders in the myocardium, as evidenced by EEG findings. It is the authors' opinion that therapeutic measures should be aimed at liquidation of the progressive edema (hypothermia, fasciotomy), prevention of acute renal insufficiency and correction of metabolic disorders.
