Pressure ulcers are areas of damaged skin and tissue developing as a result of compromised circulation.

Pressure ulcers usually form near the heaviest bones (buttocks, hips, and heels).
An unstageable ulcer is when the base of the ulcer is covered in eschar or slough so much that it cannot be determined how deep the ulcer is. This diagnosis is determined based on the clinical documentation. This code should not be used if the stage is not documented.
