Stop the Bleed Class (Clubhouse)

Massive bleeding from any cause, but particularly in a situation where a medical response is delayed, can result in death. Similar to how the general public learns and performs CPR, it is important for the public to learn proper bleeding control techniques, including how to use their hands, dressings, and tourniquets. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding -- within five to 10 minutes -- if the bleeding is not stopped. The good news is that anyone at the scene can act as immediate responder and save lives if they know what to do. 

The goal of this class is to provide you with training and credible information on bleeding control. We hope you will never need to use this information, but if you do, at least you will have the assurance of knowing how to recognize and stop bleeding until medical help arrives.

In this 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.

**Free Personal STOP THE BLEED® kits provided at the end of class for participants age 18 and over** ($45 value)

Training will be brought to you by the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center and includes hands-on instruction and visual presentations by trained medical professionals.
