After blood loss, the body will seek to compensate for the lack of blood by entering a state of Hypovolemic Shock. This is followed by the body releasing hormones that will constrict the blood vessels in an attempt to keep the blood in the body. Heart rate and respiratory rate will increase for a while. However, if action isn't taken, both respiratory and heart rate will begin to decrease.
