Real-time Soft Tissue Assessment Using a Technologically Advanced pH Monitoring System

"Patients who agree to take part will have a pH probe inserted into their injured limb. The pH probe will be attached to a pH monitor which will record pH data for up to a maximum of 72 hours (24 hours per probe). The surgical team will not have access to the pH data. During the time they are considered at risk for ACS, patients will be monitored in the routine way (using regular clinical assessment and pressure monitoring). If ACS is diagnosed in the routine way, then treatment (fasciotomy) will be offered as appropriate."
