Add-On: Stop the Bleed® Bleeding Control Training
Supercharge your Heart Saver class by adding life-saving skills in bleeding control. The Stop the Bleed® training teaches you how to recognize life-threatening bleeding and act immediately — in the first critical minutes — when every second counts.
Why this matters:
Uncontrolled bleeding is the #1 cause of preventable death in trauma and accounts for approximately 30 %–40 % of all trauma deaths, with a large portion occurring before the patient ever reaches a hospital. USC Center for Health Journalism+3HMP Global Learning Network+3PMC+3
Someone with a severe bleeding injury can bleed out in as few as 2–5 minutes, while the average EMS arrival time often runs 7–10 minutes or more. HSI+2Medical Xpress+2
Research shows that when bleeding is controlled early by bystanders trained in these techniques, survival improves significantly. ACS+2collegeems.com+2
