Which of the following statements regarding crush syndrome is correct?
Tissue damage that occurs in crush syndrome is severe, but kidney injury is unlikely because toxins are quickly eliminated from the body
Compromised arterial blood flow leads to crush syndrome and can occur when an area of the body is trapped for longer than 4 hours
With crush syndrome, massive blood vessel damage occurs following severe soft-tissue injuries, such as amputation of an extremity
