Abstract
Intra-compartmental pressures of up to 30 mmHg may be generated by compression bandaging following upper limb surgery. Compression bandaging and hand elevation are both shown to diminish skin blood-flow as measured by transcutaneous oxygen pressures. Hand elevation following post-operative compression bandaging is potentially hazardous.
