UPMC in North Central Pa. recently hosted a series of Stop the Bleed training courses with staff from Little League International. The training courses focused on skills to help manage traumatic bleeding injuries. "Simple interventions, such as applying pressure to or packing a wound, or using a tourniquet, can make a lifesaving difference and our Stop the Bleed training is an easy way for individuals to learn some basic skills that can make a difference when help is needed most," said Tony Bixby, chief of Susquehanna Regional EMS and director of Prehospital Services, UPMC in North Central Pa. Stop the Bleed is one component of UPMC's Minutes Matter, a community outreach program focused on providing community members with access to basic emergency information and education about life-saving interventions to promote effective bystander response.
