Stop the Bleed®
Need:
Civilians need basic training in Bleeding Control principles so they are able to provide immediate,
frontline aid until first responders are able to take over care of an injured person. Due to many
situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury and the time a first responder is on the
scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths will occur.
Mission/Objective:
The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma is leading the effort to save lives by teaching
the civilian population to provide vital initial response to stop uncontrolled bleeding in emergency
situations. This will be accomplished by the development of a comprehensive and sustainable bleeding
control education and information program targeted to civilians that will inform, educate and empower
the 300+million citizens of the United States.
What is the history of the Stop the Bleed® program and bleeding control?
In April 2013, just a few months after the active shooter disaster at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, the Joint Committee to Create a National Policy to Enhance Survivability from Intentional Mass Casualty and Active Shooter Events was convened by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) in collaboration with the medical community and representatives from the federal government, the National Security Council, the U.S. military, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and governmental and nongovernmental emergency medical response organizations, among others. The committee was formed under the leadership of trauma surgeon Lenworth M. Jacobs, Jr., MD, MPH, FACS, to create a protocol for national policy to enhance survivability from active shooter and intentional mass casualty events.
Because these meetings initiated in Hartford, CT, the Joint Committee’s recommendations became known as the “Hartford Consensus.” One of the recommendations of the Hartford Consensus was to turn bystanders into immediate responders at the scene of wounding before first responders arrived. This step would improve the survivability of victims with severe bleeding. As soon as the area became safe, these immediate responders could act to stop bleeding if they were properly trained in the bleeding control techniques.
That recommendation gained widespread recognition in October 2015 when Stop the Bleed, a national awareness campaign and a call to action, was launched at the White House. Stop the Bleed is intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.
Studies have shown that the help given by an immediate responder can often make the difference between life and death, even before professional rescuers arrive. The Bleeding Control Basic Course provides participants with the necessary tools to become empowered immediate responders.
