BACKGROUND Although sodium disturbances are common in hospitalised patients, no study has specifically investigated the epidemiology of hyponatraemia in patients with crush syndrome. OBJECTIVES To describe the incidence of hyponatraemia and assess its effect on outcome in patients with crush syndrome during the Wenchuan earthquake. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted in 17 reference...
Sir, I read with interest the well-written article in the November 2002 issue entitled ‘Clinical findings in the renal victims of a catastrophic disaster: the Marmara earthquake’ by Sever et al. [1]. The reported findings support the attitude not to undertake fasciotomy unless clear objective indications are present such as increased intracompartmental pressure. Fasciotomies were found to be a ...
Crush injury is a recognised cause of acute renal failure, histologically giving characteristic myoglobin casts in biopsy specimens. A similar syndrome can be precipitated by muscle damage associated with barbiturate overdose1 and carbon monoxide poisoning.2 We report a case of acute renal failure in which the renal biopsy specimen showed a typical "crush injury" appearance due to severe acute ...
Crush injuries can occur in large numbers following natural disasters or acts of war and terrorism. They can also occur sporadically after industrial accidents or following periods of unconsciousness from drug intoxication, anaesthesia, trauma or cerebral events. A common pathophysiological pathway has been elucidated over the last century describing traumatic rhabdomyolysis leading to myoglobi...
Carpal tunnel syndrome and the "double crush" hypothesis: a review and implications for chiropractic
Upton and McComas claimed that most patients with carpal tunnel syndrome not only have compressive lesions at the wrist, but also show evidence of damage to cervical nerve roots. This "double crush" hypothesis has gained some popularity among chiropractors because it seems to provide a rationale for adjusting the cervical spine in treating carpal tunnel syndrome. Here I examine use of the conce...
Crush syndrome remains rare in European practice. It is, however, common in areas of civil disorder and where the normal structures of society have given way to civil war or natural disaster. Western doctors are becoming increasingly involved in such situations and there is no reason to believe that instances due to more conventional causes, such as collapse in the elderly or road traffic accid...
Crush injuries resulting in traumatic rhabdomyolysis are an important cause of acute renal failure. Ischemia reperfusion is the main mechanism of muscle injury. Intravascular volume depletion and renal hypoperfusion, combined with myoglobinuria, result in renal dysfunction. The infusion of intravenous fluids before extrication or soon after injury may lessen the severity of the crush syndrome. ...
