What is Stop The Bleed (STB):
It is a national initiative for all civilians to learn how to recognize life threatening bleeding and how to control it through direct pressure, packing a wound or tourniquet use.
Why should I learn STB:
The main cause of death in emergency situations is that people bleed to death before First Responders are cleared by law enforcement for access to treat victims. Many of these deaths are preventable. The American College of Surgeons (ACS) is leading this initiative to empower over 300,000,000 civilians in the United States to learn the basic skills to save a life.
