System for detection of skin wounds and compartment syndromes
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A spectrophotometric device for determining a presence of compartment syndromes comprising:
- a processing device configured to receive a signal corresponding to detected electromagnetic radiation from a sensor, to calculate localized fluid parameters of a body compartment beneath a tissue site based on the received signal, and correlate the localized fluid parameters to a condition status indicative of a localized accumulation of fluid in the body compartment and a potential compartment syndrome, wherein the processing device compares the calculated fluid parameters to baseline fluid parameters specific to the body compartment and determines the condition status from the comparison.
