Stop the Bleed - free seminar at Paladin Center, Carmel, NY - 11/01/17

[Calculon]

This sounds interesting and is free.

"The Bleeding Control Basic (BCon) Course v. 1.0 is designed for individuals who have little or no medical training but who may be called upon as immediate responders to provide initial trauma care and bleeding control to a victim of traumatic injury prior to the arrival of emergency medical services (EMS) or in an austere environment.

No matter how rapid the arrival of professional emergency responders, bystanders will always be first on the scene. A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes, therefore it is important to quickly stop the blood loss. Those nearest to someone with life threatening injuries are best positioned to provide first care."

I have seen reviews by guys like us that have taken this course and they recommend it highly. I'd like to take one as a refresher.

Yes planning on it. I have no medical or recent first aid training. I’d love to know basics in the event of an accident or an injury.

Sorry I guess I should read...

Very basic program but good intro to using a tourniquet for a serious wound. Focus on civilian action to take to prevent a bleed out while waiting for EMS to arrive.

Did they explain differences in assessment/treatment between venous and arterial bleeding?

Did they explain differences in assessment/treatment between venous and arterial bleeding?

No. Started with an overview of the American College of Surgeons’ program “Stop the Bleed” including ABCs of Trauma Care Response:
Alert - call 911
Bleeding - find the bleeding injury
Compress - cover and apply pressure, use a tourniquet or packing the wound.

Did hands on tourniquet application and wound stuffing on analogs.

Message was stop the bleeding and keep person alive until professionals arrive. No further instructions just how to do.
