Stop the Bleed class!

Did you know that a person who is bleeding can die from blood loss in less than 3 minutes? Emergency responders will arrive as quickly as possible, but bystanders are almost always there first. In the case of disaster and high casualty incidents, emergency services are often spread thin. Will you be ready?

Learn what to do to stop severe bleeding in an emergency. The more people that have this lifesaving skill, the better.

This is a special session to be held in West Seattle, taught by Lake City Stops the Bleed. Register at http://signup.com/go/XzJtrKL. The class is free, but space is limited.

Course Description

“Stop the Bleed”, a national program developed by trauma experts, is designed to teach people with little or no medical training simple techniques to stop life-threatening bleeding.

A one-hour presentation is followed by hands-on practice packing wounds and applying tourniquets on dummies.  The presentation includes a 10-minute video on surviving an active shooter situation. While active shooter situations are on everyone’s mind these days, you are more likely to use these life-saving skills because of accidents in your home, on a hiking/camping trip, or on the highway.

We encourage anyone of high-school age and up to sign up.  Some images on the slides and the video are graphic, so we ask that no younger children accompany you to the class.
