Types of bleeding are:

1. Primary (during or immediately after surgery)
2. Reactionary (Upto 48 hours due to a defective suture or as clot in the vessels has got disturbed)
3. Secondary (8-14 days due to wound getting infected and capillaries have eroded surfaces)

To prevent excessive blood loss during surgery we need to understand the source of bleeding i.e. possible reason for bleeding.
