In 15 carpal tunnel syndrome patients pressure was measured during the day and at 2-hourly intervals from midnight to 6 a.m., via a catheter introduced into the carpal canal, using the constant infusion technique. Intracarpal tunnel pressure of the patients always exceeded the critical pressure of 30 mmHg and the highest values were found at 6 a.m. Slightly lower pressures were found when the wrist was splinted, but the difference was not significant, nor were critical pressure levels prevented by splinting.
对15名腕管综合征患者,采用持续输注技术,通过插入腕管的导管,在白天以及从午夜到凌晨6点每隔2小时测量一次压力。患者的腕管内压力始终超过30 mmHg的临界压力,且在凌晨6点时压力值最高。当手腕用夹板固定时,压力略低,但差异不显著,夹板固定也不能防止临界压力水平出现。
