Through hands-on training and practice, you’ll learn how to recognize life-threatening bleeding and the steps needed to act right away using stop the bleed methods.

STOP THE BLEED®

The annual STOP THE BLEED® national awareness campaign takes place every May. It highlights the need for everyone to be trained in life-saving emergency bleeding control techniques.

Emergency bleeding control techniques can save a life

When severe bleeding occurs, knowing how to apply emergency bleeding control measures can make a difference in a person’s chance of survival.

Follow these steps to stop the bleed:

Locate the bleeding. Quickly expose and inspect the wound.
Apply direct pressure. Using a clean cloth, apply firm and constant pressure directly on the point of bleeding. Use gloved hands if a pad isn’t available.
Maintain pressure. If blood soaks through the pad, leave it in place. Apply a second pad on top of the first. When bleeding is controlled, maintain continuous steady direct pressure.
