Acute Compartment Syndrome of the Forearm Following Autologous Blood Reinfusion: A Case Report
HAND, 11/02/09

Noyes M et al. – The authors report the first case, to their knowledge, of acute forearm compartment syndrome caused by intravenous autologous blood reinfusion. The patient underwent forearm fasciotomy, and hematoma was encountered deep to the superficial volar fascia, presumably extravasated from the reinfusion catheter. With the rise in the number of knee and hip arthroplasties, surgeons need a heightened awareness of the possible complications and morbidity associated with a presumed increase in autologous blood reinfusion.
