What is Stop the Bleed campaign?
Stop the bleed is a national awareness campaign that intends to encourage bystanders in the scene of bleeding emergencies to helping stop bleeding in wounded people before professional help arrives.
Who started the campaign?
The campaign was launched in October of 2015 by the White House.
Why was the campaign started?
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, so quickly stopping the bleeding is critical. Those nearest to someone with life-threatening injuries are best positioned to provide immediate care if they are equipped with the appropriate training and resources.
Who's involved in the campaign?
The Stop the Bleed initiative began as a collaborative effort headed up by the White House that included a number of Federal agencies, including the NHTSA Office of EMS, as well as national organizations and corporations.
When to use the stop bleeding kit?
