Crush

Crush injury is the systemic manifestation of muscle cell damage resulting from pressure or crushing?

When a crushing force is applied, the sarcolemma gets stretched, which causes it to get leaky, loosing its ability to be semi-permeable. We also get localised ischaemia which causes myonecrosis or cell death?

The use of tourniquets, in the absence of haemorrhage, is advised by the FPHC to prevent the release of toxins and prevent rhabdomyolysis?

CK levels peak between 1-3 days in traumatic rhabdomyolysis?
