Arterial Ulcers vs. Venous Ulcers Nursing (Characteristics) for PVD (Peripheral Vascular Disease)

Arterial vs venous ulcers comparison video for nursing students, nurses, NCLEX, ATI, and HESI review.

When studying arterial and venous ulcers, you want to be able to identify the location of these two ulcer types, as well as their general appearance.

With arterial ulcers, there is an issue with the peripheral arteries being able to supply the extremities. There tends to be little drainage and tissue granulation, and it tends to be located at the ends of toes, tops of feet, or lateral ankle region. These ulcers tend to have a punched out appearance.

Venous ulcers, on the other hand, tend to develop on the medial parts of the leg or medial ankle region. There is swelling with drainage, as well as granulation present. The edges of venous ulcers are irregular and shallow.
