Each unit of blood is a pint or 473ml.
Therefore, 6 units the you may bleed with a severe pelvic fracture is about 3 litres, or about half your available blood.

Difference between false pelvis and true pelvis?
The male and female pelvic areas vary in a number of ways, as required by the differences in internal organs and their function. The most obvious difference is a shorter, broader pelvis in females, which is limited by the need to articulate the hips and legs (to walk upright in a normal manner).Characteristics of Male Pelvis :Bone are taller, heavier, and thickerMore prominent bone markingsObturator foramen is roundPubic arch v-shapedPelvic inlet heart-shapedSmaller pelvic outlet smallerIschipubic rami is more evertedSciatic notch is narrowerSubpubic arch is more acuteIschial spine is projected inwardsAcetabulum is largerCharacteristics of Female Pelvis :Bones are lighter and less denseWider / shallower profileLarger superior and inferior aperturesObturator foramen is ovalPubic arch widerPelvic inlet oval-shapedIschiopubic rami is less evertedSciatic notch is widerSubpubic arch is widerIschial spine is projected outwardsAcetabulum is smaller

How much blood is lost in a pelvic fracture?
I will try to answer it although the question could be considered very similar to "How much would a car crash cost me to repair" The "average" "severe" pelvic fractures can bleed around 6 units of blood (pints or 473ml) Fortunately, the more common fracture of pubic rami (common in old ladies) bleed much less, perhaps 0.5 - 2 units A fractured femur can bleed around 3 or 4 units Absolutely ALL fractures anywhere in the body will bleed. No exceptions. Amount varies from 4ml for a very simple finger fracture, to "bleeding to death" in pelvic fractures. I have been involved in treating numerous cases of pelvic fractures. Despite stabilisation with external skeletal fixation frame, 4 cases of them just continued bleeding any units of blood we infuse. The blood was leaking into pelvic and abdominal cavity. One patient stopped bleeding with a clever interventional radiologist arterial blockage, the second by laparotomy and ligating the internal iliac artery and the other 2 died despite the ligations. Nowadays, most serious pelvic injuries are sustained in unrestrained car crashes. I always wear my seatbelt. So you should.
