  • Title: Crush syndrome complicating pneumatic antishock garment (PASG) use.
    Author: Taylor DC, Salvian AJ, Shackleton CR.
    Journal: Injury; 1988 Jan; 19(1):43-4. PubMed ID: 3049371.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of severe compartment syndrome complicated by rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure (crush syndrome) following the use of a pneumatic antishock garment (PASG) with survival of the patient. Review of the literature reveals one other similar case but without survival. The aetiology of the complication is discussed and recommendations for the safe use of the PASG are made.
