Bleeding Control for the Injured

Bleeding Control for the Injured

This course focuses on the recognition and medication of life-threatening bleeding with the appropriate medical treatment. Bleeding Control for the Injured is the foundation of first response trauma care that teaches you the initial steps to be taken to care for bleeding patients. This was designed to provide detailed information on the control of severe external bleeding, including the use of direct pressure, commercial pressure bandages, tourniquets, and packed dressings. Upon completion of this course, you will be trained to provide lifesaving bleeding control for injured persons until medical professionals and first responders can arrive on the site of the emergency.
