- Description
- Perfusion of the organs in any body cavity or compartment can be compromised when intracompartmental pressure exceeds pressure in the capillaries. This simple pathophysiological principle is well recognized in many areas of the body and often presents in life- or limb-threatening scenarios. The following review articles from experts in their fields summarize our current knowledge and identify further directions for research on different forms of ACS. This symposium was endorsed by the WSACS and the International Association for Trauma Surgery and IntensiveCare (IATSIC), and it complements these societies’ biannual meetings in June 2009 in Dublin (WSACS) and September 2009 in Adelaide (IATSIC).
