Stop the Bleed
Stop the Bleed is a national campaign to empower bystanders to help during a bleeding emergency. In this course, you will be taught how to recognize life-threatening bleeding and act quickly to control it with 3 different techniques. After a brief lecture, BMRC instructors will teach you these hands-on skills in small groups, using manikins and special materials. You will practice (1) applying direct pressure, (2) packing a wound, and (3) applying a tourniquet. Victims of severe bleeding can die within several minutes if no intervention is taken to stop bleeding. Taking the Stop the Bleed course will enable you to take life-saving action if an emergency arises.
The BMRC offers Stop the Bleed classes free of charge. Classes can be taught in either 60 or 90 minutes depending on the class size.
