As blood volume is lost the body tends to compensate by narrowing the blood vessels causing an increase in blood pressure. This change is not noticeable via a BP cuff due to lack of blood volume to sustain adequate pressure. The heart also begins to beat faster. This is known as shock. Shock is looked at with 3 essential problems. Pipes (Blood vessels; Ruptured, torn, etc.), Pump (Heart; contusions, heart attacks, insufficient sinus rhythms, disrhythmias, etc) Or a volume problem in this case. (Loss of fluid) Extended shock leads to the failure of several bodily organs. After 2-3 hours of hypovolemic shock, no matter how much blood or drugs you put back into the body, death is certain. Hope this gave you a good idea of the mechanics of shock.

As a person slowly bleeds to death, their body gradually loses blood volume, leading to decreased oxygen delivery to tissues and organs. This can result in symptoms such as weakness, lightheadedness, confusion, increased heart rate, and eventually organ failure. Without prompt medical intervention to stop the bleeding and replace lost blood, death can occur.
