Stop the Bleed: Why Trauma Aid Skills Save Lives in the First 5 Minutes

In a violent incident, trauma care in the first five minutes can mean the difference between life and death. Stop the Bleed training equips bystanders to take lifesaving action while waiting for first responders.

What Is Stop the Bleed? A national initiative to train non-medical personnel to control bleeding using pressure, tourniquets, and wound packing.

Why It Matters

  • Uncontrolled bleeding is a leading cause of preventable death

  • Empowers staff, faculty, and employees

  • Complements active threat response

Key Training Topics

  1. Identifying life-threatening bleeding

  2. Proper use of tourniquets

  3. Pressure dressing and wound packing

How ISG Integrates Stop the Bleed is part of our trauma care module and is available as a stand-alone training or part of full preparedness programs.
