Stop the Bleed
Uncontrolled bleeding from traumatic injuries is a leading cause of preventable death. During bleeding emergencies, minutes can mean the difference between life and death. The American College of Surgeons (ACS) developed Stop the Bleed courses which train the public to save lives by stopping life-threatening bleeding following everyday emergencies and man-made and natural disasters.
Stop the Bleed Course
During an hour-long course, attendees are taught how to respond safely to a bleeding emergency with three methods after calling first responders and ensuring the scene is safe:
-
Apply direct pressure to the wound,
-
Pack the wound with gauze or clothing, and
-
In the cases of more severe bleeding injuries, apply a tourniquet if the injury is to an extremity and the wound continues to bleed.
These techniques help control bleeding and can save lives by preventing catastrophic blood loss. They are simple enough for everyone to learn and effective in helping control bleeding during the critical time from injury to the arrival of emergency personnel
The ACS Stop the Bleed course is for anyone who is interested in learning this lifesaving skill for bleeding control. Over 5 million people including students, teachers, and community groups have been trained. We are committed to training anyone who is old enough to understand what the course teaches and is interested in learning how to control bleeding and save a life.
