Training Bystanders in Bleeding Control

出血是第二大死因for patients in the prehospital environment - accounting for 30-40% of all mortality.¹

In many of these instances, bystanders are present before professional rescuers are. However, without training and confidence to intervene,旁观者可能会感到无助并犹豫采取行动。

According to Kenny Navaro, an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School at Dallas, “bystanders who self-report a feeling of competence to provide emergency first aid are more likely to help victims of traumatic injury. The feeling of competence is positively correlated to first aid training”.²Additionally, Navaro suggests that lay rescuers play a vital role in providing immediate bleeding control.

In 2015, the White House addressed the importance of layperson intervention, and launched a “Stop the Bleed” awareness campaign locally and nationally.³EMS支持对于竞选的成功至关重要, and many systems have begun providing community trainings that include both lecture and hands-on task training practice.

Engaging the public is key when it comes to bystander hemorrhage control。简短的模拟完全集中在技术和适当的压力上，可以增强平均外行人的信心治疗出血伤口。
