This is one of those topics that always creates a big discussion especially for certain industries that are at potential high risks for injuries, but in general there will be a level of anxiety for this potential situation.

What is it?

Crush injury  
  • When a force is applied to the body or a part of the body is trapped, pinched or jammed between or under something and tissue, skin, muscle, nerves or bone is injured.
Compartment syndrome -
  • When there is a decrease of fluid to the tissues or even organs via the circulatory or lymphatic systems due to the applied pressure & this can lead to tissue necrosis (death of the tissue), permanent damage or even escalate to crush syndrome  
Crush syndrome
  • When the applied pressure is extended in time & pressure causing a systemic condition with multiple problems including disruption of the body's chemistry and can affect the kidneys & heart from the build-up of toxins, enzymes & potassium, to name a few. Occurs most commonly to the legs but also the limbs or where there is a larger muscle impacted. 

What can cause it?
