Fig. 3From: Well leg compartment syndrome following robot-assisted radical cystectomy in the lithotomy position: a case reporta A manner of regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) monitoring in bilateral lower limbs using a NIRS oximeter (INVOS 5100TM, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA), and b trends in bilateral rSO2 in a different patient. NIRS sensors are positioned on the skin surfaces of bilateral calves (a). Note that in b, rSO2 in the right lower limb (dotted line) showed a profound decrease, which began at around 150 min and lasted for about 15 min during pelvic lymph node dissection possibly due to excessive traction on iliac vesselsBack to article page
