If you are referring to pain, pallor, pulses, paresthesia, and paralysis there is a huge amount of information available.

If you are searching the internet, you might try searching for 5Ps in compartment syndrome” as that is how I most commonly see it associated.

If you give us an idea of what you looked for when you Googled, then we could help you figure out how to do better searches. Just putting in "5Ps" and calling it a day is obviously not working. Adding "nursing" or "nursing assessment" will get you a lot farther. Looking in your textbook for some hints under postop / periop physical assessment will be a good idea, too.

See, just asking someone on line for the answer doesn't teach you nearly as much as you could have learned already, jut by putting a little effort and thought into it.

So now go do that, and come back and tell us what you learned!
