Use of pH or glucose probes to diagnose compartment syndrome
Project Overview
Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a disorder that can cause permanent muscle damage or even death. The only method of treating ACS is a fasciotomy, an extremely traumatic surgery which permanently scars patients. Current diagnosis techniques are highly unreliable or prohibitively expensive but our client, Dr. Christopher Doro, identified intramuscular pH as an accurate indicator of ACS in dogs. He seeks to perform human testing to verify the transferability of this conclusion but was unable to find a suitable method of measuring intramuscular pH. All the options were too large to fit in a needle and thus, he approached UW - Madison's BME department to enlist their help in developing small enough pH sensors to use in this application.
