SAVE A LIFE - Stop The Bleed Day
Thursday May 23

What would you do if you witness someone who walks through a glass door and incurs a large laceration, a severe cut to their arm?

What would you do if you witness an emergency and you are more than minutes away from help?

Since blood may be spurting, it is a life threat, it is better to learn now what to do rather than leaning on the spot. We will provide a free on-line videos that will prepare you.

No matter how rapid the arrival of professional emergency responders, bystanders will always be first on the scene. A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes, therefore it is important to quickly stop the blood loss. Those nearest to someone with life threatening injuries are best positioned to provide first care.

The following poster (Fig.1.1) is a flowchart to follow depending on the severity of the situation. The video below is another resource.
Stop The Bleed Video

 
The following selection links to a page that has been prepared by The American College of Surgeons and www.bleedingcontrol.org. It includes videos on:
  • How to use a tourniquet.
  • Immediate responders  - You may be called upon in a mass casualty or active shooter event. MAKE SURE YOU SEE THE VIDEO FOR "IMPROVING SURVIVABILITY"

Join The GRVAC Family
When my husband Paul and I got married, we purchased my parents' house in Glen Rock. As a way to meet people, Paul joined the GRVAC. We socialized a lot with other couples and became a close knit group. As time went on, the wives joined too. We formed a strong bond and support system through good and bad times. At this point in my life, the GRVAC is a part of my family.
