# Blood Loss, IVs, Stabilzation

## Blood Loss

Blood loss is divided into 5 classes, 4 of which have a cautionary text accompanied with them:

| Class   | Description                  | Liters             |
| ------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------ |
| Class 1 | No warning text              | 6 liters (default) |
| Class 2 | Lost some blood              | 5.1 liters         |
| Class 3 | Lost a lot of blood          | 4.2 liters         |
| Class 4 | Lost a large amount of blood | 3.6 liters         |
| Class 5 | Lost a fatal amount of blood | 3 liters           |

Generally what we recommend to aspiring medics is to not treat class 5 blood loss as doing so would require over 2 liters of IV fluids to stabilize them. Class 4 blood loss should only be treated if the supply situation allows it.

## IVs

### Blood

A blood infusion will transfer blood into the system of the patient. Be careful with the amount of it.

### Propofol

A propofol infusion will cause anesthesia on a patient. The anesthesia will stop after the infusion has finished.

## Stabilization

A patient is considered stable when:

* Are bleeding at a rate slower than 1/4 of their cardiac output. (Pretty extensive to account for so just take this as saying the patient should preferentially have all wounds bandaged).
* Their pulse is above 40.
* Their blood pressure is above 50/60.
* They have class 1 or 2 blood loss.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.veryinsanee.space/advanced-roleplay-environment/guides/basic-gameplay-guide/blood-loss-ivs-stabilzation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
