What’s in a color?• Non-blanchable Purple (Purpuric dermatoses)

• Extravasation of red blood cells into dermis or

interstitial spaces1

• Process occludes/damages cutaneous

vasculature results in purpuric dermatoses1

Clinical Significance• Palpable purpura1

– Is palpable purpura a key clinical prognosticator for wounds?

– Edema result of inflammation or preceding microvascular ischemia

– May reflect extent of cutaneous hemorrhage

• Two dimensions of palpation3

– Superficial

– Deep

Differential Dx tips

1. History, History, History

2. Clinical Assessment (Good biopsy)

3. Interpretation (How does it apply to this

patient)

4. Timed reassessment

5. No silver bullet

Standard Guidelines• Clinical Guidelines9, 19, 35, 36

– Therapeutic Support Surface Selection

– Incontinence Management

– Repositioning Schedule/Protect vulnerable pressure points

– Modalities to reduce shear/friction

Diagnostic Test

• Ultrasound48

– Intermediate vs. High Frequency

– Discontinuous fascia and heterogenous hypoechoic areas

observed at first examination may predict deteriorations

– Limitations: Experienced Clinician, Cost, and Availability

– Maybe a reliable diagnostic tool for ruling out deep tissue

injury57

Diagnostic Test• Thermal Imaging System

• Monitors Thermal Intensity gradiency49

• Physiologic View of Tissue49

• A 1.5°C increase/decrease suggestive for a “at risk” area50-51

• Limitation: More research needed to identify specificity.

• Farid thermography study findings52:

– Pressure related intact discolored area of skin (PRIDAS)

• Warm PRIDAS and Blanchable erythema: Did not progress

• Cool PRIDAS and non-blanchable erythema: 65.4% progress to necrosis

Diagnostic Labs

• Serum CPK53

• Blood level CPK20

• Hypoxia Inducible Factor 1-alpha54

• Northwestern University Study55

Summary

• Check List

– Know the patient history (peri-hospitalization)

– Recognize clinical differences

(History/Presentation) between sDTI and other

purple lesions.

– History and Morphology can guide backing into a

differential diagnosis

– Assessment findings dictated by time course of

lesion
