A method and system for continually monitoring oxygenation levels in real -time in compartments of an animal limb, such as in a human leg or a human t high or a forearm, can be used to assist in the diagnosis of a compartment s yndrome. The method and system can include one or more near infrared compart ment sensors in which each sensor can be provided with a compartment alignme nt mechanism and a central scan depth marker so that each sensor may be prec isely positioned over a compartment of a living organism. The method and sys tem can include a device for displaying oxygenation levels corresponding to respective compartment sensors that are measuring oxygenation levels of a co mpartment of interest. The method and system can also monitor the relationsh ip between blood pressure and oxygenation levels and activate alarms based o n predetermined conditions relating to the oxygenation levels or blood press ure or both. |
