Abstract
Last year was the 10th anniversary of the first publication on #Polycompartment Syndrome. The term "Multiple Compartment Syndrome" was
introduced by Scalea in 2007 suggesting the complex interplay between
body compartments [1]. The ’#’Polycompartment Syndrome" as a”terminus
#technicus" was published by #Malbrain in the same year [2]. The human
body is subdivided into smaller or larger units by well-defined
compartments. The function of these compartments is to mechanically
protect and separate the organs or organ systems situated inside them.
Distinctively separated spaces of our bodies are the different fascial
compartments, the skull, the spinal canal, the orbit, the pericardium,
the thoracic and the abdominal cavities. The elasticity of the tissues
of the separating walls (bone, muscle, connective tissue) have a strong
determinative effect on the tolerance for volume or pressure changes
exerted on the organs which can be found inside these compartments.
Compartment syndrome in a wider sense defines those changes which occur
in the given compartments due to the increased pressure (which apart
from some lesser and/or greater fluctuations is constant under #physiological circumstances) and to the decrease in local circulation
developing in consequence of this.
