Effects of graded compression on intraneural blood blow. An in vivo study on rabbit tibial nerve.
Journal of Hand Surgery 1981 January
Compression applied to a peripheral nerve may easily interfere with intraneural blood flow. In the present experimental study, a vital microscopic technique was used to observe changes in intraneural microcirculation (intrafascicularly and extrafascicularly) when graded compression was applied to a rabbit's tibial nerve by a specially designed minicompression device. Interference with venular flow was observed already at a pressure of 20 to 30 mm Hg while arteriolar and intrafascicular capillary flow was impaired at about 40 to 50 mm Hg. At 60 to 80 mm Hg no blood flow could be observed in the nerve. Nerves observed 3 or 7 days after 2 hours of compression at 400 mm Hg showed no or very slow stagnant blood flow within the previously compressed segment. It is concluded that acute compression of nerve may cause persistent impairment of intraneural microcirculation due to mechanical injury to blood vessels.
