A member asked:
Is vascular compromise characterized by warm, flushed skin to the extremity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Vascular compromise usually refers to an arterial blockage and causes cold/white/blue/purple extremities due to lack of blood flow. Warm, flushed skin is often a sign of an infection. Sometimes a deep venous thrombosis can cause warmth and tenderness to touch but it wouldn't cause vascular compromise.
