title: Crush injury and crush syndrome: a review.
abstract: Crush injuries and the subsequent systemic manifestations are well described, but there is limited evidence on which to base protocols for optimal management. Given that in most environments such in-juries are relatively rare, there is, however, an undoubted need for such guidelines. This article reviews the currently available evidence and summarizes the treatment options available.
