When the pressure within the muscle compartment increases, the following symptoms are expected except:
  1. Decreased venous pressure
  2. Increased peripheral resistance
  3. Decreased arterial circulation
  4. Decreased venous circulation
Explanation
Answer - A - When swelling or bleeding occurs within a limited and a strictly-contained compartment, increased venous pressure, increased peripheral resistance, decreased arterial circulation, and decreased venous circulation are expected. Because the fascia is unable to expand, the increasing pressure within the compartment increases to the point of circulation interference.
