The American College of Surgeons' STOP THE BLEED® program has prepared over 2.6 million people worldwide on how to stop bleeding in a severely injured person.

In this STOP THE BLEED^® course, you’ll learn three quick techniques to help save a life before someone bleeds out: (1) How to use your hands to apply pressure to a wound; (2) How to pack a wound to control bleeding; (3) How to correctly apply a tourniquet. These three techniques will empower you to assist in an emergency and potentially save a life.

This seminar has two parts:

• 25-minute interactive course intended to be completed first. https://www.stopthebleed.org/training/online-course/

  You will receive an e-mail with your quiz results to bring to the Skills-Only live session.

• 2 1/2 hour Skills-Only live session: A formal presentation followed by hands-on practice of applying direct pressure, packing a wound, and using a tourniquet to stop bleeding. Small group instructors will be available to check your movements as you practice three different bleeding control actions.
