'''Internal bleeding''' (also called '''internal haemorrhage''') is a loss of blood from a [[blood vessel]] that collects inside the body, and is not usually visible from the outside.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Auerback |first1=Paul |title=Field Guide to Wilderness Medicine |pages=129–131 |edition=12 |url=https://www.clinicalkey.com/service/content/pdf/watermarked/3-s2.0-B9780323597555000125.pdf?locale=en_US |access-date=13 March 2019}}</ref> It can be a serious [[medical emergency]] but the extent of severity depends on bleeding rate and location of the bleeding (e.g. head, torso, extremities). Severe internal bleeding into the [[chest]], [[abdomen]], [[pelvis]], or thighs can cause [[hemorrhagic shock]] or [[death]] if proper medical treatment is not received quickly.<ref name=":1">{{cite book |last1=Fritz |first1=Davis |title=Current Diagnosis & Treatment: Emergency Medicine |chapter=Vascular Emergencies |date=2011 |publisher=McGraw-Hill |location=New York |isbn=978-0071701075 |edition=7e |chapter-url=https://accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?sectionid=40357256&bookid=385 |chapter-url-access=subscription}}</ref> Internal bleeding is a medical emergency and should be treated immediately by medical professionals.<ref name=":1" />
