A Mann\u2013Whitney U test was used to determine the possible differences in release of compartments and performance scores, as assessed by a supervising medical specialist. A Fisher\u2019s exact test was used to compare the proportions of collateral damage between groups. An independent-samples t-test was used to interpret total procedure times. The usability and technical factors involving HMD utilization were also assessed.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Combat medics in the HMD group released the anterior compartment (P\u2009\u2264\u2009.001) and deep posterior compartment (P\u2009=\u2009.008) significantly better. There was significantly more iatrogenic muscle (P\u2009\u2264\u2009.001) and venous damage (P\u2009\u2264\u2009.001) in the control group. The overall performance of combat medics in the HMD group was significantly better than that of the control group (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). Combat medics in the control group were significantly faster (P\u2009=\u2009.012). The combat medics were very satisfied with the HMD.
