Stop the Bleed: Teaching Life-saving Steps to Stop Blood Loss in Emergencies 

As part of the National Stop the Bleed campaign, staff from Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and Lancaster General Health are reaching out to their local communities with basic tools and information on the simple steps to take in an emergency situation to stop life threatening blood loss. Penn Medicine's teams have delivered hands-on training to police, high school students, and school nurses on the three basic “Stop the Bleed” techniques: direct pressure to a wound, wound-packing techniques, and tourniquet application.
