SUMMARY:5/4/24 - Stop the Bleed® & USCCA Treating Gunshot Wounds
DESCRIPTION:COMBO CLASS – Stop the Bleed® & USCCA Treating Gunshot Wounds\nThe number 1 cause of preventable death after injury is bleeding. That’s why we want to train you how to STOP THE BLEED®. This class blends techniques from Stop the Bleed with USCCA treating gunshot wounds. Class will include classroom presentation as well as hands on practice for assessing and treating all types of bleeding including gunshot wounds. \nWhy Learn?\n\nA bleeding injury can happen anywhere. We’ve all seen it happen too often—on the news or in everyday life. Life-threatening bleeding can happen in people injured in serious accidents or disasters. Instead of being a witness\, you can become an immediate responder because you know how to STOP THE BLEED®. \nWhat You’ll Gain from the Course\n\nThe person next to a bleeding victim may very well be the one who’s most likely to save him or her from bleeding to death. By learning how to STOP THE BLEED®\, you’ll gain the ability to recognize life-threatening bleeding and act quickly and effectively to control bleeding once you learn three quick techniques. Take the STOP THE BLEED® training course and become empowered to make a life or death difference when a bleeding emergency happens. \nHow We Teach\n\nOur instructors will teach you live—in person\, using training materials specially developed to teach bleeding control techniques. They will not only instruct you\, they will be available to check your movements as you practice three different bleeding control actions. They will keep working with you until you demonstrate the correct skills to STOP THE BLEED® and save a life.
