“If you see something, DO something” is the new paradigm regarding hemorrhage control.

Our nation’s threat from intentional mass-casualty events remains elevated. Enhancing public resilience to all hazards has been identified as a domestic preparedness priority. Recent events have shown that, despite military medical lessons learned from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, opportunities exist to improve the control of external hemorrhage in the civilian sector1 including schools.

In this webinar, Paul Vecchio, Vice President, Training and Special Programs, North American Rescue, focused on how the immediate, effective application of pressure dressings and tourniquets to a bleeding casualty will vastly improve chances of survival for victims of natural disasters or intentional acts of violence and terrorism at a school. During an incident on a school campus, administrators, educators, and all staff members are considered “immediate responders.” Learn about interventions that should be performed by “immediate responders” and professional first responders once they arrive.

Paul’s presentation covered:

This webinar will benefit school administrators, educators, staff, and coaches at all grade levels including K-12, colleges, and universities. Learn why a hemorrhage control strategy needs to be added to your school’s disaster plans.
