Crush Injuries and the Crush Syndrome - PMC - PubMed Central (PMC)
Compression syndrome: An indirect muscle injury due to a simple, slow compression of a group of muscles leading to ischaemic damage and thus causing crush substances to enter the blood. Compartment syndrome: A localized rapid rise of tension within a muscle compartment, which inevitably leads to metabolic disturbances akin to rhabdomyolysis. 8.
