    The document provides a chart for assessing pitting edema based on the depth of an indentation made by pressing on the skin. Edema is rated from 1+ to 4+, with higher numbers indicating deeper indentations that take longer to disappear. A 1+ edema pits less than 2mm and disappears rapidly, while a 4+ edema pits 6-8mm and the indentation lasts 2-5 minutes.
