Why it Matters

STOP THE BLEED^® is a public health initiative aimed at directly saving lives. Through efforts to increase public awareness and encourage people and organizations across the United States to get trained with life-saving STOP THE BLEED^® techniques, people can be ready to take action and stop everyday instances of life-threatening bleeding in their homes and communities. In many cases, death from blood loss is preventable. Properly trained, anyone can STOP THE BLEED^® until professional help arrives.

Experts say it takes between:

3 - 5 minutes to die from severe bleeding.
7 -10 minutes is the average EMS response time.

The STOP THE BLEED^® Project is a national initiative with support across public and private sector organizations and individuals committed to saving lives. The Project is supported by over 100 organizations, including the following:

United States Department of Defense
Stop the Bleed Coalition
American College of Surgeons
