Hi there -
I am translating a medical report where the headings at the top read as follows:
PROTOCOL: PEGASUS
SITE# 3333 PAT# B12345
EVENT ID: BLEED PAGE#: 5
Would anyone be able to tell me what BLEED might mean in this context? I of course realize that it is an English word, but there is always the question of how it is being used in a document that is otherwise 100% in French.
Thanks so much!

full-page printed, borderless
Generally the bleed pages for a magazine, report, trade show program, etc., are the first and last several pages (same sheets of paper through the press/layout etc.) printed fully to the paper's edge, no border, thus called "bleed" pages. They're normally reserved for advertising but not always - and generally used with graphics to improve graphic presentation.

loss of blood
It would be 'bleeding' in plain English but perhaps 'bleed' is used in medicine.
Given that this is a medical report, 'bleed' and 'page' don't go together as suggested in the reference comment.

The event would be 'bleeding'; 'bleed' is perhaps fine as an 'Event ID'.

In computer software it is common to use small integers or short character strings as IDs. These don't necessarily mean something (a description of the event is stored somewhere) but it helps if the ID suggests the description. I suspect 'bleed' suggests bleeding or loss of blood.

an instance of printing an illustration or design so as to leave no margin after the page has been trimmed.
This appears to be the meaning og bleed here.

EVENT ID: BLEED // PAGE#: 5
I first observed that "EVENT ID" is English, so even if the report is in FR I'm happy to start with the hypothesis that this line is EN.
Next observation: the previous line bears two references; what if it was the same here?
And all of a sudden it became clear to me that this was very probably saying that the type of event was a bleed, and this is page 5.
If I'm right, this is obviously not one you're going to be adding to the KudoZ glossary!

: This is clearly the way to read line 3. I went slightly off-track initially because I didn't notice that the item was 'Event ID' and NOT 'Event'.

bleed page
Definition
Printing industry term for a page on which the printed (inked) area does not have the usual blank (inkless) margins. In all printing processes, a narrow space must be left along the paper's edges for it to be gripped, and to prevent printing ink/toner from going on the ink-free/toner-free parts of the machine. Bleed printing is more expensive where it requires oversized printing plates and/or paper (from which inkless margins are trimmed off to leave only the inked part).

The heading is medical/software-computers. A "bleed page" is a printing industry term. It was the one reference I could find to explain "BLEED". The asker will have to consult the client, but I don´t think it has anything to do with "loss of blood"!
