本病例為一位57歲男性,2018年10月30日因車禍導致右側脛骨骨折併發急性腔室症候群之案例。2018年10月31日由本院骨科部進行開放性復位及內固定手術(Open reduction internal fixation, ORIF)後,術後給予抗生素、止痛劑與肌肉鬆弛劑,患者右小腿仍持續腫脹與疼痛,症狀影響睡眠,於術後第六天,2018年11月5日,會診中醫協助治療。本案例辨證為氣血瘀滯、水濕內聚,治以活血化瘀,利水滲濕,選用桃紅四物湯加味,搭配西藥常規治療,服中藥後第三天,患處明顯消腫,一週後,患者疼痛減低,可下床持輔助器自行活動。目前因中醫藥治療急性腔室症候群之相關文獻較少,故透過此病例,探討桃紅四物湯在腔室症候群的初步論治。
