  3. Fasciotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasciotomy

    Fasciotomy or fasciectomy is a surgical procedure where the fascia is cut to relieve tension or pressure in order to treat the resulting loss of circulation to an area of tissue or muscle. [1] Fasciotomy is a limb-saving procedure when used to treat acute compartment syndrome. It is also sometimes used to treat chronic compartment stress syndrome.

    The result will be that the developing toe or finger will become ischemic and fall off. Because the result is a transverse amputation that cuts off the vascular supply to the developing extremity, [2] the actual constriction ring is not seen.

An escharotomy can be performed as a prophylactic measure as well as to release pressure, facilitate circulation and combat burn-induced compartment syndrome.

    Capillary refill time is traditionally used as a clinical indicator of tissue vascularity either after limb injury or after revascularization [15] and the most reliable and applicable site for CRT testing is the finger pulp (not at the fingernail), and the cut-off value for the normal CRT should be 3 seconds, not 2 seconds.
