Stop the Bleed

This in-person, hands-on class teaches the basics of identifying and treating life-threatening bleeding using tourniquets, wound packing and pressure dressings. It teaches what "immediate responders," i.e., bystanders can do to stop potentially fatal bleeding before emergency responders can arrive.

The Hartford Consensus was formed to find ways to reduce fatalities at active shooter and mass casualty incidents. It was found that the primary loss of life in these incidents was the loss of blood. The American College of Surgeons took this information and developed the Stop the Bleed program. In this one-hour course, participants are instructed on methods to stop bleeding at active shooter and mass casualty incidents. The MCC Police Department has the equipment and trained instructors to present this course.

MCC Departments, Faculty and Students can also request the Stop the Bleed presentation for their individual groups as well by contacting Dave Points at X22071.
