Escharotomy is the surgical division of the nonviable eschar, which allows the cutaneous envelope to become more compliantFull-thickness circumferential and nearcircumferential skin burns result in the formation of a tough, inelastic mass of burnt tissue (eschar). The eschar, by virtue of this inelasticity, results in the burn-induced compartment syndrome. This is caused by the accumulation of extracellular and extravascular fluid within confined anatomic spaces of the extremities or digits. The excessive fluid causes the intracompartmental pressures to increase, resulting in collapse of the contained vascular and lymphatic structures and, hence, loss of tissue viability. The capillary closure pressure of 30 mm Hg, also measured as the compartment pressure, is accepted as that which requires intervention to prevent tissue deat . http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/80583-overview

Multilumen Esophageal Airway Multilumen esophageal airway devices are used by some prehospital personnel to achieve an airway when a definitive airway is not feasible (n FIGURE 2-9). One of the ports communicates with the esophagus and the other with the airway. The personnel who use this device are trained to observe which port occludes the esophagus and which provides air to the trachea. The esophageal port is then occluded with a balloon, and the other port is ventilated. A CO2 detector improves the accuracy of this apparatus. The multilumen esophageal airway device must be removed and/or a definitive airway provided after appropriate assessment.
When diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL) is used to detect diaphragmatic injury, a false-negative result may occur An isolated penetrating injury from the chest can cause bleeding into the lesser sac, which may not communicate with the rest of the peritoneal cavity. A DPL in this situation would show no evidence of bleeding. Drainage of lavage fluid from the chest tube has been reported and is a positive result.
