*Mild—greater than normally observed, estimated blood loss <250 mL; moderate—estimated loss between 250-500 mL, possibly needing blood replacement; severe—estimated loss >500 mL, requiring blood replacement; and life threatening—estimated loss >1,000 mL, or producing hypotension or intracranial bleed. Cases of pulmonary hemorrhage including diffuse alveolar hemorrhage were graded as life threatening.
