Exsanguination is the loss of blood to a degree sufficient to cause [[death]]. Depending upon the age and health of the individual, people can die from losing half to two-thirds of their blood; a loss of roughly one-third of the blood volume is considered very serious. Even a single deep cut can warrant suturing and hospitalization, especially if [[trauma]], a vein or artery, or another comorbidity is involved. The word originates from Latin.<ref>{{REFweb | |||
