Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is an orthopedic emergency condition, which is rarely attributed to burns. It occurs when pressure in an enclosed space rises to a point where it reduces blood flow and impairs tissue perfusion. Its consequences often lead to ischemia and possible necrosis within that space. Until now, the use of Doppler assessment to explore different types of compartment syndrome has yielded contradictory findings. Here, we present a significant increase of blood flow velocity in the arteries proximal to the burned area. Thus, the combination of Duplex ultrasound results with clinical findings will help vascular surgeons to make immediate decision to perform fasciotomy.
急性筋膜室综合征（ACS）是一种骨科急症，很少由烧伤引起。当封闭空间内的压力升高到减少血流并损害组织灌注的程度时就会发生。其后果通常会导致该空间内的缺血和可能的坏死。到目前为止，使用多普勒评估来探究不同类型的筋膜室综合征得出了相互矛盾的结果。在此，我们呈现出烧伤区域近端动脉血流速度显著增加的情况。因此，双功超声检查结果与临床发现相结合将有助于血管外科医生立即决定是否进行筋膜切开术。
