Dictionary definitions and usage suggest that 血泊 refers to a pool of blood (formed by the flow of blood from wounds), whereas a bloodbath is an *event*.

bloodbath: "an event or situation in which many people are killed in an extremely violent way" [Oxford]

血泊
成片積留在地面的血。
【例】救護人員趕到,立刻替倒臥在血泊中的傷者施行急救。

In J examples, it's pool of blood, not bloodbath.
e.g. "Fatally shot, he lay in a pool of blood."
他遭致命枪击,躺在血泊之中。
