| Whakarāpopotonga: | The manometer measures the pressure of the compartment of interest as the water column moves.

Incomplete fasciotomy can lead to disastrous consequences, and objective measurement of compartment pressures after fasciotomy can prevent this.1 Measuring compartment pressure complements clinical evaluation in deciding on performing fasciotomy. |
