Use of a tourniquet can stall the life-threatening consequences of a crush related injury and can be a second option if the person cannot immediately have the fluids that were lost be medically replaced back into the body. Tourniquet measures should be taken if the person has been entrapped for more than two hours. [14]
Kidney dysfunction typically develops 1–2 days after the initial muscle damage. [4] If supportive treatment is inadequate to manage this, renal replacement therapy (RRT) may be required. [ 13 ] RRT removes excess potassium, acid and phosphate that accumulate when the kidneys are unable to function normally and is required until kidney ...
Risks that lead to ER include exercise in hot and humid conditions, improper hydration, inadequate recovery between bouts of exercise, intense physical training, and inadequate fitness levels for beginning high-intensity workouts. [3] Eccentric contraction of muscles can result in ER more often than concentric contraction. [4]
Blunt injuries to the kidney from helmets, shoulder pads, and knees are described in football, [1] and in soccer, martial arts, [2] and all-terrain vehicle crashes. A literature review of peer-reviewed articles in May 2009 demonstrated that urogenital injuries are uncommon in team and individual sports, and that most of them are low-grade injuries, cycling being the most commonly associated ...
A soft tissue injury is the damage of muscles, ligaments and tendons throughout the body. Common soft tissue injuries usually occur from a sprain, strain, a one-off blow resulting in a contusion or overuse of a particular part of the body. Soft tissue injuries can result in pain, swelling, bruising and loss of function. [1]
Muscular lactic acid levels return to normal levels within an hour after exercise; delayed onset muscle soreness is thought to be due to microtrauma from unaccustomed or strenuous exercise. [283] Stretching before or after exercise does not reduce delayed onset muscle soreness. [284] Urine is not sterile, not even in the bladder. [285]
This cycle can cause tissue ischemia, a lack of oxygen, and necrosis, or tissue death. [6] [5] [44] Paresthesia, or tingling, can start as early as 30 minutes after tissue ischemia begins. [47] Permanent damage can occur 12 hours after the injury starts. [47] Pathophysiology of Compartment Syndrome. The reduced blood supply can trigger ...
Kidney failure can be divided into two categories: acute kidney failure or chronic kidney failure. The type of renal failure is differentiated by the trend in the serum creatinine ; other factors that may help differentiate acute kidney failure from chronic kidney failure include anemia and the kidney size on sonography as chronic kidney ...
