This is a very common injury for any age of patient. This is the act of blood escaping from the circulatory system. This can happen in either external or internal fashions. Internal bleeding can become the most deadly as it is not as noticeable as bleeding externally. Most individuals can withstand blood loss of approximately 10%-15% before having any serious medical difficulties. In comparison, when someone donates blood, they usually give approximately 8%-10% of their blood volume.
