Stop The Bleed

Simply put, Bleeding Control saves lives. We should have a public access bleeding control kit everywhere that there is an AED, and we need to take the time to train the public to use the equipment properly.  Through my presentation of The American College of Surgeons “Stop The Bleed” course my students will learn the background of the Stop The Bleed program and The Hartford Consensus, as well history surrounding preventable field deaths.  Students will learn to identify life-threatening hemorrhage, to differentiate between and compressible and non-compressible wound, ultimately gaining the decision making capability to decide on treatment modality for the injury.  During the class, we will discuss the different types of tourniquets and hemostatic agents available in the field today, along with the indications and contraindications of each.    This course will include lecture time and hands-on skill stations.
