Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Comparison Between INVOS Monitoring and Electromyography
A comparison will be made between the INVOS monitoring and non invasive (transcutaneous) EMG monitoring (AP Block), to determine the accuracy of the INVOS monitoring to predict AP block.
Measures were:
[mean (SD)] INVOS (in %) value at baseline and at the time of the block
Intracompartmental Pressure (ICP)
[mean (SD)] ICP (in mmHg), value at baseline and at the time of the block

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Muscular compartment syndrome (MCS) is consecutive to an increase in intramuscular compartment pressures, and is a rare but serious postoperative complication.
The INVOS (In Vivo Optical Spectroscopy) monitors tissular oxygenation continuously and non-invasively.
The objective is to develop a model mimicking the physiopathology of MCS to assess the interest of the INVOS in this case.
Detailed Description
After inflation of a tourniquet (pressure equal to the mean arterial pressure, we will obtain a model of slight venous congestion and arterial hypoperfusion. A comparison will be made between INVOS monitoring, sensory deficits, pain, electromyography and invasive pressure.
