STOP THE BLEED®

In emergencies, minutes count! When a person is severely bleeding it is possible they can bleed to death in as little as a few minutes. That’s why bleeding control keeping the blood inside the body is the purpose of “Stop the Bleed” training.

This is a training course for EVERYONE and requires no previous medical training. It covers how to control massive life-threatening bleeding utilizing no equipment as well as commercial tourniquets.

No matter how rapid the arrival of professional emergency responders, bystanders will always be first on the scene. A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within minutes, therefore it is important to quickly stop the blood loss. Those nearest to someone with life threatening injuries are best positioned to provide first care.

​The Bleeding Control Course is designed for individuals who have little or no medical training, but who may be called upon as immediate responders to provide initial trauma care and bleeding control to a victim of traumatic injury prior to the arrival of emergency medical services (EMS) or in an austere environment.
