THE INFLUENCE OF LIMB COMPRESSION FORCE ON THE EXPRESSION OF MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES DURING CRUSH SYNDROME

EE "Belarusion State Medical University"
The Republic of Belarus

Objectives. To determine the influence of different force of the limb compression on the severity of changes in the internal organs during crush syndrome.
Methods. 15 guinea pigs were subjected to the research. Crush syndrome was modeled using the device of adjustable compression (DAC-1). Depending on the compression force the animals were divided into three groups: 1 group (5 animals) – 10 kg/cm2, 2 group (5 animals) – 25 kg/cm2, 3 group (5 animals) – 75 kg/cm2. The morphological analysis of the tissues was carried out on the muscle of the compressed limb, kidney, liver, lung and heart.
Results. The expression of morphological changes in the muscles and internal organs was in direct proportion from the compression force of the limb and duration of post-compression period. In the first group combined with the damage of the limb muscle the changes in the kidney with slight alterations in other internal organs have been observed. In the second group the more pronounced morphological changes both in the damaged limb and in the internal organs have been noted. This became the basis of multiple organ dysfunctions and resulted in death of the animals on the first day of early post-compression period. The third group of animals died during the compression period. The cause of death was an expressed traumatic shock confirmed by corresponding changes in the internal organs.
Conclusions. The specific changes at the crush syndrome occur not only in the limb muscles but also in the internal organs. Knowledge of these features is the basis for crush syndrome treatment.
