FM/BG-309 - Blood levels and their effects
Guide

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
