Course Overview

When a serious injury involves open wounds or heavy bleeding, every second counts.

This course provides specialized training on how to identify and treat different types of bleeding, from minor capillary oozing to life-threatening arterial spurting. You will learn the "ABC" method—Alert 911, find the Bleeding site, and Compress. We take a deep dive into the proper application of direct pressure, the use of pressure bandages, and the critical "do's and don'ts" of managing impaled objects.

Additionally, the training covers the correct protocols for severe cases, including how to handle amputated parts and when a tourniquet is necessary. Gain the confidence to act decisively to prevent shock and stabilize a victim until professional help arrives.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

No. You should never remove an impaled object, as it may be acting as a plug to slow the bleeding. Instead, apply pressure around the object and use bulky dressings to stabilize it in place.

Bleeding is likely life-threatening if the blood is spurting, flowing continuously, pooling on the ground, or if the victim appears confused or pale (signs of shock).

Do not remove the original bandage, as this could disturb any clots that have started to form. Simply place a second clean dressing directly over the first and continue applying firm pressure.

A tourniquet should only be used for life-threatening bleeding from an arm or leg that cannot be controlled with direct pressure. Once applied, a tourniquet should never be loosened or removed by anyone other than a medical professional.

Have the person sit up and lean their head slightly forward to prevent swallowing blood. Pinch the soft part of the nostrils firmly for at least 5 to 10 minutes without releasing the pressure.
