Scale For Pitting Edema. Assessment and treatment 5th ed. The scaling depends on both the pit leaves and depth and how long the pit will remain. Assessment of pitting edema 2mm or less 1 edema 2 4mm 2 edema 4 6mm 3 edema 6 8mm 4 edema. 30 seconds to rebound.
1 barely detectable impression when finger is pressed into skin. The pit is between 0mm to 2mm and rebounds quickly. Pitting edema is graded on a scale of one to four. Here are 2 scales below. Slight pitting 2 mm depth with no visible distortion that rebounds immediately. 1 barely detectable impression when finger is presssed into skin.
