Diffusion is driven by concentration gradients between the intravascular and interstitial compartments, and convection by pressure gradients composed of hydrostatic and oncotic components.

For established compartment syndromes, surgical treatment is indicated. Fasciotomy is the most effective way to diminish interstitial pressures. Rather than occurring after a specific injury ...

Furthermore, a study investigating the connection between plasma volume and interstitial fluid compartments found that ongoing fluid infusion can inhibit the return flow of fluid to the plasma ...
