| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| '''Desanguination''' (from Latin ''sanguine'', blood) refers to a state of being resulting from a massive loss of [[blood]].
| |
| | |
| ==Historical Perspective==
| |
| The term was widely used by the [[Hippocrates]] in traditional medicine practiced in the Greco-Roman civilization and in Europe during the Middle Ages. The word was possibly used to describe the lack of personality (by death or by weakness) that often occurred once a person suffered [[hemorrhage]] or massive blood loss.
| |
| | |
| The exact ideology of the term as it is commonly used is not clearly understood. Medical literature suggests that a person who suffered massive blood loss as being alive, but some authors may be convinced the person is not living. This ambiguity is likely the cause of its infrequent use in the medical profession today.
