Overview
Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death after an injury and accounts for approximately 40% of trauma-related deaths worldwide. A bleeding victim can die in as few as four to five minutes, so it's vital to quickly stop uncontrolled blood loss. No matter how fast the arrival of professional emergency responders, bystanders will almost always be first on the scene of an accident or act of terrorism.
Stop The Bleed traces its origins to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012, where autopsy records showed most of the deaths were from severe blood loss.
From that great tragedy came a national emergency response goal to improve victim survival following mass shootings and other intentional acts of mass violence by training potential bystanders to take immediate life-saving action.
Stop The Bleed is must-have training for school district employees or anyone who works where large numbers of people assemble.
