“Uncontrolled bleeding is a major cause of preventable deaths,” Carmen Mihlbauer-Luther, Director of the RAMC Emergency Department said. “In honor of ER Nurses Day on October 8th, our team will be teaching a Stop the Bleed Class. An hour today can save a life tomorrow!”
According to the National College of Surgeons, “Stop the Bleed courses train the public to save lives through three basic actions to stop life-threatening bleeding following everyday emergencies and man-made and natural disasters. Advances made by military medicine and research in hemorrhage control during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have informed the work of this initiative which exemplifies translation of knowledge back to the homeland to the benefit of the general public.”
