Blood levels and their effects
Our system assumes that an individual with full blood volume intact has 6 litres of blood, the current amount of blood loss is shown on the medical menu at all times, if relevant.
- Lost some blood
- the patient has lost up to 0.9 litres of blood
- the patient does not suffer significantly from the blood loss itself
- Lost a lot of blood
- the patient has lost between 1.0 and 1.8 litres of blood
- should the patient bleed and/or fall unconscious
- the blood loss might prevent reawakening
- Lost a large amount of blood
- the patient has lost between 1.9 and 2.4 litres of blood
- it is unlikely that the patient is conscious
- the patient will not reawaken until blood volume is restored
- in case of cardiac arrest, resuscitation is possible but difficult
- Lost a fatal amount of blood
- the patient has lost more than 2.4 litres of blood
- likely to suffer cardiac arrest due to blood loss
- resuscitation is impossible until blood volume is at least partially restored
