STOP THE BLEED® is one of our nation’s largest public health campaigns. Its goal is to save lives by training people across the country how to stop traumatic bleeding.

National STOP THE BLEED® Day is a one day call to action.  Anyone can be trained and be ready to save someone’s life – a friend, a family member, colleague or the person next to you – whether you know them or not.

Get trained, get equipped, be ready, be empowered, spread the word.  STOP THE BLEED®.

Why it Matters

Uncontrolled bleeding is a major cause of preventable deaths. Approximately 40% of trauma-related deaths worldwide are due to bleeding or its consequences, establishing hemorrhage as the most common cause of preventable death in trauma.*

Average time to bleed out: 2 to 5 minutes

Average time for 1st responders to arrive: 7 to 10 minutes

Bystanders can fill the gap with STOP THE BLEED®
