[A clinico-neurophysiological analysis and the treatment problems of the crush syndrome (based on data from the earthquake in Armenia)]
Abstract
Overall 350 patients with the crush syndrome were examined. It has been shown by the clinico-neurological investigation that in long compression of the limbs followed by the development of the crush syndrome, sensitive fibers and the membrane of the axon are most of all exposed to unfavourable effects. The changes discovered as a result of the clinically intact nerves point to the diffuse impairment of the peripheral neuromotor apparatus in patients with the crush syndrome.
