Real-Time Muscle Pressure Measurements in Patients at Risk for Acute Compartment Syndrome

Plain-language summary

The purpose of this trial is to conduct a pilot study that will aid in the design of an evaluation of the clinical benefit of MY01, an FDA cleared device, that allows continuous monitoring of intracompartmental muscle pressure in patients at risk for developing acute compartment syndrome. MY01 has previously been successfully tested on animal and Human cadaver Acute Compartment Syndrome models within the RI MUHC through Department of Defense research Grant (Combat Casualty Care Research Program (CCCRP). This trial is supported by the same grant, as the next phase of the overall project. This is a multi-center, non-randomized, historically controlled, prospective trial of the MY01 device. A cohort of 50 participants will be prospectively enrolled with two weeks follow up to document clinical benefit of the device. Results from this study will be used to inform the design of a larger study designed to demonstrate the clinical benefit of the MY01 device in the early diagnosis of ACS. The role of each organisation within the trial are detailed below: * Research Institute of McGill University Health Centre (RI MUHC): study coordination and data analysis (no recruitment activity will take place in the MUHC). * Hennepin Healthcare: participants recruitment * Vanderbilt University Medical Centre: participants recruitment
