Use of pH or glucose probes to diagnose compartment syndrome
Project Overview
Our client, Dr. Christopher Doro, is an Orthepedic surgeon in the emergency room for the UW Hospital. He works very often with Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS). Currently, the method to detect ACS is by measuring the pressure in the compartment, and relating it to inaccurate thresholds. The only way to treat ACS is by doing a gruesome fasciotomy, and this method currently leads to an abundance of false positives. Our goal is to create a more accurate, continuous and safe way to detect ACS in trauma patients.
