Stop the Bleed Stats

What is STOP THE BLEED initiative?

 

STOP THE BLEED is a national awareness campaign and call to action launched by the Department of Homeland Security.

 

The goal of STOP THE BLEED is to promote grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before the professional emergency responders arrive. 

​

No matter how rapid the arrival of professional emergency responders, bystanders will always be first on the scene.

 

A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes, making it imperative to know how to quickly stop the blood loss.

​

The STOP THE BLEED campaign is an initiative to provide bystanders of emergency situations with the tools and knowledge to stop life threatening bleeding.

 

There are simple steps that can be taken by bystanders in an emergency situation to stop or slow life threatening bleeding which can save lives.

​

Research has shown that bystanders, with little or no medical training, can become heroic lifesavers.

 

Improving public awareness about how to stop severe bleeding and expanding personal and public access to Bleeding Control Kits can be the difference between life and death for an injured person.
