Abstract:
Objective To investigate the causes and therapeutic methods of compartment syndrome following radial artery cannulation in the left forearm.Methods The data(including puncture pin type,puncture frequency, onset time and INR) and therapeutic methods(including using manicol,cold compress,fasciotomy,dactylolysis and dermatoplasty) of 6 patients were retrospectively analyzed,which had compartment syndrome after radial artery can- nulation in the left forearm.Results The type of puncture pin and puncture frequency attributed to this disease to some extent.After therapy,4 patients recovered completely.2 patients underwent fasciotomy,and Volkmann syn- drome happened in 1 patient,dactylolysis happened in the other because of necrosis in the left thumb and finger.Con- clusion Compartment syndrome may be avoided by correct selection of puncture pin type and no repeated punctur- ing,and early diagnosis and therapy are important for fine prognosis.
