Workshop: Stop the Bleed 1030 – 1200 and 1300 – 1430 Andrew Lim, BHSc (PA), BASc. (Hons), CCPA; Mike Dalliday, CCPA; Kimberley May, CCPA; David Kuhns, MPH, CCPA, PA-C Massive bleeding from any cause, but particularly from an active shooter or explosive event where a response is delayed can result in death. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding, within five to 10 minutes. Stop the Bleed is an initiative of the American College of Surgeons and the Hartford Consensus that provides civilian bystanders the skills and basic tools to stop uncontrolled bleeding in an emergency situation and save lives. Similar to how the general public learns and performs CPR, the public must learn proper bleeding control techniques, including how to use their hands, dressings, and tourniquets. Only certified healthcare providers can administer a Stop the Bleed course. Who is it for? Certified healthcare providers offer Stop the Bleed training to the general public as well as people that work in public areas or venues who may be a first person on scene until a first responder arrives (e.g. security, event staff, vendors etc.). |
