Stop the Bleed

UC Health Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care is offering a free “Stop the Bleed” course for medical and non-medical personnel in the community to aid in injury prevention.
 

The Stop the Bleed program builds national resilience by teaching the public life-saving bleeding control techniques to aid individuals in a variety of situations. Uncontrolled bleeding injuries can result from natural and manmade disasters and from everyday accidents. If this bleeding is severe, it can kill within minutes, potentially before trained responders can arrive. Providing bystanders with basic tools and information on the simple steps they can take in an emergency situation to stop life threatening bleeding can save lives. Research has shown that bystanders, with little or no medical training, can become heroic lifesavers.
 

Presented by: Gina Menninger RN

Gina is the Trauma Prevention and Outreach Coordinator for UC Health’s Trauma center. In her role, Gina, plans, develops, and oversees prevention programs for the trauma center. She coordinates community education programs with the regards to prevention of unintentional injury, to decrease injury rates and improve treatment and trauma care, and positively increase public awareness through community outreach.   The #1 cause of preventable death after injury is bleeding and Gina feels deeply that education early on will prevent the statistics from continuing to trend up as trauma continues to the be leading cause of death for those age one to forty and third leading cause of death for all ages.
