Stop the Bleed Tourniquet Training

Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death after traumatic injury. In partnership with the Stop the Bleed campaign, GMC Trauma Program Manager and RN, Gina Soloman, shows you how to use a tourniquet properly in order to stop the bleed.

Everyone should have a Stop The Bleed Kit in their car. I’m putting it on my priority list right now.

I'm doing my trauma rounds right now for ER and this was a very well made video. I would add that if the bleeding persists despite having a tourniquet on, add one on top, DO NOT remove the existing one and replace it.

And if you're worried about losing circulation to that limb, remember it is life over limb in emergencies, better to lose an arm then your life.

Excellent video and I agree this should be Taught in schools Especially Now when the world is Violent. Everyone should be taught this important life saving skill that can Help save a Life. Free classes at the local Libraries

Thank you so much! Got what I needed with no other bs like advertisements or plugs.

[DARTHDANSAN]

Thanks I carry one and to be honest I had no clue how to use it . I saved this video on “ how to use a tourniquet “ play list . This stuff can save your life

Very well done. I like your ABC'S. I would have liked to see more importance placed on tightening the tq and wound packing.

[toddcofer]

Thank You for that great demonstration.

Yes, this is AWESOME! Thank you... I’m forwarding to my Mom, made her a first aid / trauma kit for her range bag today and she is not familiar with the CAT.

Excellent video! Very informative with no filler. Thanks!

With the way our world is today, everyone should learn this. Everyone should buy a bleeding control kit. There is so much hate and so many crazy violent fueled incidents that cause preventable deaths.

Typing out the comment so maybe it'll help me retain the information and I won't forget what to do if I ever encounter this situation.

[aandyherr]

Correct! The only thing worse than a death, is a preventable death-- especially one with such a easy solution/fix such as applying pressure, a TQ, or just calling 911 and knowing whats occuring.

A 5 year old girl here in Thailand today or yesterday was shot above her left knee, bullet took out the femoral artery in both legs.
Happened when 3 young children were playing and found a loaded gun :(
She died.
Nobody knew that it was important to stop the bleeding. Just phoned the police.
When medical care people arrived, the girl was just lying "sleeping" on the floor in a big puddle.
Not my child, but still crying!

Can we fill the wound with gauze and apply pressure AFTER using the tourniquet?
