STOP THE BLEED COURSE

The Stop the Bleed® course was created by the American College of Surgeons and is taught around the country by qualified instructors. The class teaches the basics of identifying and treating life-threatening bleeding via the application of tourniquets, wound packing and pressure dressings. It teaches what “immediate responders,” i.e., bystanders can do to stop potentially fatal bleeding before professional emergency responders can arrive. 

Course Fee:  $75 per participant

Course Description:  The course includes a formal PowerPoint presentation (official Stop the Bleed training program) along with hands-on practice labs including direct pressure application, junctional wound packing, and the application of tourniquets at extremities.

WHY DOES THIS TRAINING MATTER?

Uncontrolled bleeding is a major cause of preventable deaths. Approximately 40% of trauma-related deaths worldwide are due to bleeding or its consequences, establishing hemorrhage as the most common cause of preventable death in trauma.

Average time to bleed out from massive hemorrhaging:   2 to 5 minutes

Average time for first responders to arrive on the scene:    7 to 10 minutes

Bystanders can fill the critical time gap and STOP THE BLEED!

Anyone can be trained and ready to save someone’s life – a friend, a family member, a colleague or the person next to you – whether you know them or not.

Learn how you, your family, your school, your place of worship, your company or any other organization you are a part of can be prepared to Stop the Bleed.
