STOP THE BLEED

Stop the Bleed® is a national awareness campaign and a call to action. Stop the Bleed is intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency…becoming the beginning of the trauma care chain of survival.

During Stop the Bleed training, you will learn how to:

  • Determine if an area is safe for you to proceed toward a victim to provide assistance

  • Identify any nearby tools to assist you such as a publicly placed bleeding control kit or everyday items that can be used to control bleeding

  • Use your hands to apply direct pressure at the site of the wound to stop bleeding

  • Pack a deep wound with cloth or gauze to control bleeding

  • Correctly apply a tourniquet to an injured limb to stop bleeding

  • Keep the victim calm until help arrives
