stop the bleed sign

STOP-THE-BLEED® Courses are designed to increase the survivability of life-threatening bleeding. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding, typically within 5-10 minutes.

The concept of this course can be summed up in 3 points:

  • Lifesaving training: similar to how the general public understands and performs CPR
  • The public must learn proper bleeding control techniques, including how to use their hands, dressings, and tourniquets
  • By providing civilian bystanders the skills and basic tools to stop uncontrolled bleeding in an emergency situation, lives would be saved!

This complimentary course offered by the Ottawa Regional Trauma Program takes about 90 minutes to deliver and includes hands-on skills development.

The training occurs The Ottawa Hospital-Civic Campus.
