Abstract
A 67-year-old man was admitted with traumatic arterial occlusion in his leg 24 h after an accident. A double-lumen catheter was inserted into the left iliac vein, after revascularization, and haemodialysis started using a new membrane dialyser to remove myoglobin effectively. Intramuscular pressure of the limb was measured and, when it was 35 mmHg, staged fasciotomy was performed. A modification of the procedure used to prevent myonephropathic metabolic syndrome and compartment syndrome is described.
