I thought there was an equation, to figure out about blood lose.
But I can not remember.
I had an incident last night, with a family member having a nose bleed. I told him to place his head fowaeds, and then I placed an ice bag on his nose.
But he lost quite a bit of blood.
I was debating on calling 9-1-1. But he refused.
Then he told me he was feeeling very dizzy, and weak.
So he layed down.
So my real question is, how much blood (approximately) can a 150 pound 6 foot tall man lose before symptoms appear.
I took his pulse, and it was 90 and regular. No other equipment availabe. IE: bp cuff, sthescope.
I watched him for about an hour, no other real signs of further problems.
So did I do right, not calling 9-1-1.
Some basic facts: Was at a hotel room. I am thinking nose bleed was caused by having a bowel movement, and pushed hard enough to cause the blees.
Any suggestions, help, comments?
