Hello everyone,
I have a patient
admitted 2 mos. ago with stage 2 (scab ) on right heel. It has healed
after a few weeks then recurred again. She is ambulatory. We
treated it, healed, then recurred again. Finally, we referred her for a
vascular consult coz she's been complaining of pain too on that leg even just
by touching it. Vascular MD wrote that it is an ischemic ulcer and they
did an arteriogram. My question is, on our skin sheet, we first
documented it as pressure sore, should we change our skin sheet now and
consider it as non-pressure ischemic ulcer? The thing that is confusing
is that, it is on pressure point but it is not a pressure sore but ischemic
ulcer. Thank you so much for all your
help.
