Stop the Bleed | Logan County
Minutes count! Did you know? 40% of trauma-related deaths worldwide are due to bleeding. Average bleed out time is 3-5 minutes; average response time for 1st responders to arrive is 7-10 minutes.
NDSU Extension and the NDSU School of Nursing are partnering to offer STOP THE BLEED® training for rural residents wanting to learn how to reduce deaths caused by unintentional injury. Nursing faculty will travel to counties throughout the state and work with Extension Agents to provide this 90-minute training.
Training sessions are limited to 10-12 participants per location. Personal Stop the Bleed kits will be provided to participants on a first-come, first-served basis.
What You'll Learn
What stops bleeding? In a STOP THE BLEED® course, you’ll learn three quick hands-on techniques to help save a life before someone bleeds out:
How to use your hands to apply pressure to a wound
How to pack a wound to control bleeding
How to correctly apply a tourniquet.
These three techniques will empower you to assist in an emergency and potentially save a life.
