ReviewThe management of shock and local injury in traumatic rhabdomyolysis.
Rhabdomyolysis (literally "striped muscle dissolution") is a biological and clinical condition that takes to plasmatic release of myoglobin, muscle enzymes and electrolytes, relates to the lysis of stripped muscle fibers. Rhabdomyolysis presents the clinician with two distinct problems: local injury and the systemic effects directly related to that injury. Locally, muscle, vessel and nerve compression are the primary issues. ⋯ Therefore, the traumatic rhabdomyolysis has few diagnostically problems. On the other hand, their treatment is complex and must have a multidisciplinary approach. So the rhabdomyolysis actually remain a severe disease with high mortality caused principally by visceral lesions related to sepsis.
