SMH-Sarasota HealthConnection: Stop The Bleed Training

A practical emergency intervention class taught by trauma specialists at Sarasota Memorial Hospital instructs civilians on managing severe injuries. The session outlines the protocols of the national Stop the Bleed campaign, teaching attendees how to identify life-threatening hemorrhage and apply direct pressure, wound packing, and tourniquets. Held in the hospital's HealthConnection space, the non-certification workshop equips everyday citizens with the tactical skills necessary to prevent severe blood loss in the critical minutes before professional first responders reach the scene of an accident.
