Bleeding and Shock
Captions available
The idea
Bleeding from the surgical site after surgery can cause low blood pressure, changes in circulation and shock.
In practice
Signs include falling blood pressure, rising heart rate, and fresh blood on dressings or in drains; the surgeon is notified at once and a return to surgery may be needed.
Where people slip
A patient returning to surgery for bleeding needs a room and team ready quickly.
