Hemorrhage Consequences: Blood Loss, Shock, Organ Damage, Death
Hemorrhage (bleeding) can cause:
- Blood loss → anemia, hypotension, shock
- Hypovolemic shock → inadequate perfusion, organ damage, death
- Hematomas → pressure on structures, pain, impaired function
- Blood clots → DVT, pulmonary embolism
- Organ damage → heart, brain, kidneys, lungs fail
- Tissue necrosis → cell death from oxygen deprivation
- Infection → bacterial growth in blood/ wounds
- Death → circulatory collapse if uncontrolled
Immediate medical attention is critical for significant bleeding.
