Everyone is invited to Stop the Bleed Day on Wednesday, May 15, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the John A. Burns School of Medicine, main courtyard. Participants will learn how to make a difference in life-threatening emergencies by knowing the basic techniques of bleeding control.
Similar to how the general public learns and performs CPR, the public must learn proper bleeding control techniques, including how to use their hands, dressings and tourniquets. Serious bleeding from a traumatic or violent event or accident where a response may be delayed can be fatal. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding, within as little as five to 10 minutes.
Anyone at a trauma scene can act as an immediate responder and save lives if they know what to do. May is our nation’s first ever National Stop the Bleed Month and events across the country will teach bleeding control techniques to the general public and empower them with the skills and knowledge to respond to emergencies and save lives.
