Compartment Pressure Monitor

Can anyone assist me with this query?

An ortho surgeon at my hospital is debating the utility of compartment
pressure monitoring for suspected compartment syndrome. His thoughts if he
feels by clinical exam the patient has compartment syndrome he does nopt
want to run the risk of having a false negative compartment pressure. On the
other hand if he feels the compartment syndrome is of low probability he
does not want to be faced with a false positive value.

What is the current research for using compartment pressure measurements?

Thanks,

Andrew
