How to Measure Brawny Edema?

The most commonly used tools to measure edema are:
  1. Volume measurements (with a water volumeter)
  2. Girth measurements (with a tape measure).
  3. Pitting edema assessment (based on the depth and duration of the indentation).

How is non pitting edema measured?

Doctors usually classify edema as either pitting or non-pitting. If you press a swollen area with your finger and it doesn't cause an indentation in the skin, it's considered non-pitting edema.
