Stop the Bleed: The Training That Can Save Lives in Seconds. When Every Second Counts
Mass shootings. Workplace violence. Car accidents. Severe injuries can happen anywhere, and bleeding out is one of the leading causes of preventable death in traumatic situations.
The truth is: a person can bleed to death in under five minutes—far faster than emergency services can typically arrive. That’s why the national Stop the Bleed initiative was created: to train everyday people to act quickly, confidently, and correctly in the face of life-threatening bleeding.
At IC&M CPR, we offer hands-on, certified Stop the Bleed training for schools, businesses, churches, security teams, and community members. When tragedy strikes, your ability to respond could be the reason someone lives.
Why Stop the Bleed Matters
While CPR helps in cardiac emergencies, Stop the Bleed is critical for trauma. It teaches you to:
Identify life-threatening bleeding
Apply pressure and pack wounds
Use tourniquets correctly
React under high-stress, high-stakes conditions
Whether it’s an active shooter, a workplace accident, or a natural disaster, these are the skills that bridge the gap between injury and professional medical care.
Stop the Bleed in Active Shooter Situations
In an active shooter event, law enforcement focuses on neutralizing the threat. EMS often can't reach victims until the scene is secure. That delay can cost lives.
Victims don’t need complex care—they need bleeding control. Fast.
Stop the Bleed empowers bystanders—teachers, coworkers, even students—to be the first line of defense.
🩸 The #1 cause of preventable death in trauma is bleeding. Stop the Bleed training helps you stop it—before it's too late.
