Stop the bleeding techniques for emergencies

Uncontrolled bleeding is a serious emergency. Blood loss due to trauma is a leading cause of preventable death in the United States. If care is delayed, even by a few minutes, uncontrolled bleeding can quickly become life-threatening.

When active violence occurs, time is critical to survival. Being able to react quickly and with confidence is vital to saving lives.
