To The Editor:The very worthwhile, comprehensive, and long overdue paper "Accuracy
in the Measurement of Compartment Pressures: A Comparison of Three Commonly
Used Devices"
(2005;87:2415-22), by Boody and
Wongworawat, addresses important aspects about the accuracy of compartment
pressure measurements. While there are some interesting explanations about the
importance of a good tissue model and the effect of different needles and
catheters, the authors leave unanswered a number of important methodologic
questions.
