How it's used

Medical professionals and first aid responders use this term to distinguish surface-level injuries from internal trauma. While technically accurate, it is more common in casual conversation to simply describe the location of the wound or use the phrase流血, as people rarely specify the direction of the blood flow unless they are discussing a specific diagnosis.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with internal bleeding, which is 內出血. Learners often mistakenly use this term for any kind of bleeding, but it specifically refers to blood exiting the body through a break in the skin.
