Additional Info
Pressure-induced deep tissue damage
A localized area of persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon, or purple discoloration, that may present with intact skin or as a blood-filled blister. The depth is not immediately clear and it can evolve into a full-thickness wound or develop eschar. It is diagnosed based on color changes and tissue consistency, not initially by depth as that is not immediately clear.

- pressure ulcers from rectal tubes, ETT/trach, PEG tube, splints combine with Iatrogenic, complication of medical or surgical care NOS
Coding multiple ulcers
- If there are pressure ulcers on DIFFERENT body parts (e.g. left heel, right heel, coccyx) then code them separately
- If there are multiple pressure ulcers close to each other on the same body part (e.g. coccyx area) then only code the one with the highest/worst stage.
Coding Progression of Ulcers
- Progression of Ulcers should be coded following our guidelines for Acquired Diagnosis combine each stage progression with the date and time it was noted in the chart.
