Venous hemorrhage
Venous hemorrhage occurs when a vein is damaged, leading to the escape of blood from the circulatory system. This type of bleeding is typically characterized by a steady flow of dark red blood, as it is under lower pressure compared to arterial bleeding. Common causes include trauma, injury, or medical conditions that affect blood vessel integrity.
Management of venous hemorrhage often involves applying direct pressure to the wound to control bleeding. In some cases, elevation of the affected area may also help reduce blood flow. If the bleeding does not stop or is severe, medical intervention may be necessary to repair the damaged vein or address underlying issues.
