Crush syndrome is a medical condition that occurs after a crushing injury to skeletal muscle, and is characterized by major shock and kidney failure. The key clinical features of crush syndrome are crushing injury to a large mass of skeletal muscle, increased permeability of the cell membrane, and the release of potassium, enzymes, and myoglobin from within cells. The symptoms of crush syndrome include myalgia, generalized weakness, and darkened urine. To prevent the complications that may occur due to rhabdomyolysis and compartment syndrome, importance is had in ensuring the casualty maintains adequate circulatory volume and providing adequate diuresis. Nursing care is very important in planning the treatment and care to be applied to the patient and in monitoring treatment effectiveness.
