This type of bleeding can be more difficult to control than any other.
External Venous bleeding
Dark red blood that flows steadily from a wound usually indicates a severed or damaged vein. The blood is dark red because it holds little or no oxygen. It flows steadily because it is under less pressure than the blood in the arteries.
