The time taken to measure serum hemoglobin and hematocrit (B) and await a result would delay definitive surgical control of likely ongoing hemorrhage given this patient’s incomplete response to fluid resuscitation. Additionally, hemoglobin results often lag in real-time when compared to the degree of acute hemorrhage.
