Detailed explanation-1: -The immediate physiologic responses to bleeding are constriction of the blood vessels and the formation of clots.
Detailed explanation-2: -Normally, when you are injured and start bleeding, a blood clot forms to stop the bleeding quickly. Afterwards, the clot dissolves naturally. To be able to make a clot, your blood needs blood proteins called clotting factors and a type of blood cell called platelets.
Detailed explanation-3: -This blood loss may not cause any more pain than the injuries. However, as blood loss increases, you’ll begin experiencing signs and symptoms of hypovolemic shock, or hemorrhagic shock. Hemorrhagic shock is a life-threatening condition. It occurs when your body loses a lot of blood quickly.
Detailed explanation-4: -Put pressure on the wound with whatever is available to stop or slow down the flow of blood. You are acting as a “plug” to stop the blood escaping. Call 999 as soon as possible. Keep pressure on the wound until help arrives.
