title: Compartment syndrome after use of an automatic arterial pressure monitoring device.
abstract: A case of compartment syndrome is reported as a rare complication of the use of a continuous arterial pressure monitoring device. For surgical procedures of very long duration, the way in which these monitoring devices are used may need to be modified, or alternative forms of pressure monitoring used.
