Uncontrolled bleeding is the #1 cause of preventable death from trauma. Just as CPR initiated by bystanders improves survival in cardiac arrest, immediate bleeding control can be lifesaving.

Stop the Bleed is a national initiative designed to educate laypersons in the basics of bleeding control so they can deliver lifesaving care prior to the arrival of first responders. This course presents principles and techniques, including the proper use of tourniquets. Participants will receive a booklet "What Everyone Should Know to Stop Bleeding After an Injury", an instructional presentation, practical skills training and a printed certificate of completion.
