2:00-3:00 Stop the Bleed Class - Norma Pancake, PCDEM

This course is a short, hands-on training designed to teach individuals how to quickly and effectively control life-threatening bleeding in emergency situations. The course covers:

• Recognizing life-threatening bleeding – Identifying severe bleeding that requires immediate action.

• Applying pressure – Using direct pressure with hands or dressing to slow blood loss.

• Using a tourniquet – Proper placement and tightening of a tourniquet when direct pressure is insufficient.

• Wound packing – Packing deep wounds with gauze or clean cloth to control bleeding.

The training is designed for anyone to act quickly in trauma situations before professional medical help arrives. It’s a key part of emergency preparedness, especially for mass casualty incidents or accidents where bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death.

Please dress in Comfortable Clothes and something you don't mind getting fake blood on.
