STOP THE BLEED
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
