1. A method comprising:
causing a scale device that is communicatively coupled to a computing device to measure a total mass of a plurality of items for determining blood loss;
determining, by the computing device, a total unused mass of the plurality of items based on a user-input quantity of each of the plurality of items multiplied by a predefined mass of each corresponding item type of the plurality of items;
determining, by the computing device, a quantitative blood loss of a patient based on the total mass relative to the total unused mass of the plurality of items;
automatically identifying, by the computing device, a hemorrhage stage that corresponds to the quantitative blood loss; and
automatically initiating, by the computing device, a medical order including at least one unit of blood that is specific to the hemorrhage stage identified, wherein the medical order includes a quantity of blood units corresponding to the quantitative blood loss of the patient, wherein the quantity of blood units corresponding to the quantitative blood loss is administered to the patient.
