[30] Direct injury to blood vessels can reduce blood flow to soft tissues, causing compartment syndrome. [25] Compartment syndrome can also be caused by: intravenous drug injection; casts
Critical limb ischemia is diagnosed by the presence of ischemic rest pain, and an ulcers that will not heal or gangrene due to insufficient blood flow. [3] Insufficient blood flow may be confirmed by ankle-brachial index (ABI), ankle pressure, toe-brachial index (TBI), toe systolic pressure, transcutaneous oxygen measurement (TcpO2 ), or skin perfusion pressure (SPP).
