21. Classes of hem- A Class III hemorrhage is said to occur when the patient has lost 30-40% of
orrhage their circulating blood volume. This is a significant bleed due to the fact that the
body's compensatory mechanisms are maximized, and any additional blood loss
will now create significant disturbances in hemodynamic stability. In Class I and
II hemorrhage, blood pressure remains acceptable, in Class IV hemorrhage the
blood pressure drops dangerously low.
