Determining the Etiology of Wounds: Pressure Versus Vascular Presented by Jeri Ann Lundgren, RN, BSN, PHN, CWS, CWCN Pathway Health Services

Training Objectives Describe etiologies of Pressure Ulcers Discuss the pressure versus other causes of wounds Demonstrate how to determine vascular wounds from pressure ulcers

Pressure Ulcers A pressure ulcer is localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction Copyright: NPUAP 2007

Pressure Ulcers

Contributing Factors: Shear

Contributing factors: Friction

Lower Extremity Wounds  Arterial Insufficiency  Venous Insufficiency  Peripheral Neuropathy/Diabetic

Arterial Insufficiency

 Extremity becomes pale/pallor with elevation and has dependent rubor  Skin: shiny, taut, thin, dry, hair loss of lower extremities, atrophy of subcutaneous tissue  Increased pain with activity and/or elevation (intermittent claudication, resting, nocturnal and positional)

Arterial Insufficiency  Perfusion –Skin Temperature: Cold/decreased –Capillary Refill Delayed – more than 3 seconds –Peripheral Pulses Absent or Diminished

Arterial Insufficiency Tests  Ankle Brachial Index (Doppler) < 0.8  Systolic Toe Pressure (Doppler) TP < 30  Transcutaneous Oxygen Pressure Measurements (TcPo 2 ) TcPo 2 < 40 mm Hg

Arterial Insufficiency Ulcers  Location Toe tips and/or web spaces Phalangeal heads around lateral malleolus Areas exposed to pressure or repetitive trauma (shoe, cast, brace, etc.)

Arterial Insufficiency

Venous Insufficiency

 Lower Leg characteristics –Edema Pitting or non-pitting –Venous Dermatitis (erythema, scaling, edema and weeping) –Hemosiderin Staining Brown staining (hyperpigmentation) –Active Cellulitis

Venous Insufficiency  Pain Minimal unless infected or desiccated  Peripheral Pulses Present/palpable  Capillary Refill Normal-less than 3 seconds

Venous Insufficiency Ulcers  Location –Medial aspect of the lower leg and ankle –Superior to medial malleolus

Venous Insufficiency

Peripheral Neuropathy/Diabetic  History Diabetes Spinal cord injury Hypertension Smoking Alcoholism Hansen’s Disease Trauma to lower extremity Family history ***Please note that there are over 100 known causes

Peripheral Neuropathy/Diabetic  Relief of pain with ambulation  Parasthesia of extremities  Altered gait  Orthopedic deformities  Reflexes diminished  Altered sensation (numbness, prickling, tingling)

Peripheral Neuropathy/Diabetic  Intolerance to touch (e.g., bed sheets touching legs)  Presence of calluses  Fissures/cracks, especially the heels Arterial insufficiency commonly co-exists with peripheral neuropathy!

Peripheral Neuropathy/Diabetic  Light pressure using a Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Exam  Vibratory sense using a tuning fork  Deep tendon reflexes of ankle and knee  Recommend an ABI as arterial insufficiency commonly co-exists

Peripheral Neuropathy/Diabetic  Plantar aspect of the foot  Metatarsal heads  Heels  Altered pressure points  Sites of painless trauma and/or repetitive stress

Peripheral Neuropathy/Diabetic

Moisture-Not Pressure

Intertrigo

Wounds NOT Caused by Pressure
