Pressure Sore on an Elderly Patient’s Heel
The patient has a stage 1 decubitus ulcer on her left heel. Both feet are cool but are the same temperature. Distal pulses are palpable but weak on the good foot; they are not palpable on the left and can only be heard faintly with a hand-held Doppler. You note unilateral petechiae on the dorsum of the left foot. (Source: Consultant Live)
