I wouldn’t know if the blood flowed slowly or not. I was bleeding out on day one of my two day surgery and my surgeon had to call in a vascular surgeon to find the leak and cauterize it. I was in the ICU after surgery and held overnight NPO until my next day surgery. So not very aware of my surroundings at all. I was in and out of consciousness.
My husband said I was given more blood on the second day of surgery. But he didn’t know if I had sprung another leak or not. So I was pretty out of it the whole time.
Didn’t find out about it until I was on the regular ward. At that time they were giving me platelets for a couple of days and then I had to have a couple days of magnesium drips. Apparently my blood gasses were off.
