Deep Learning Algorithm for Image Classification of Waveforms Obtained From Electrically Stimulated Hypoxic Skeletal Muscle Bundles

Acute compartment syndrome is a serious condition that requires urgent surgical treatment. While the current emergency treatment is straightforward — relieve intra-compartmental pressure via fasciotomy — the diagnosis is often a difficult one. A deep neural network is presented here that has been trained to detect whether isolated muscle bundles were exposed to hypoxic conditions and became ischemic.
