A framework for the design and implementation of Stop the Bleed and public access trauma equipment programs
Abstract Traumatic injuries remain the leading cause of death for those under the age of 44 years old. Nearly a third of those who die from trauma do so from bleeding. Reducing death from severe bleeding requires training in the recognition and treatment of life‐threatening bleeding, as well as prog...

| description | Abstract Traumatic injuries remain the leading cause of death for those under the age of 44 years old. Nearly a third of those who die from trauma do so from bleeding. Reducing death from severe bleeding requires training in the recognition and treatment of life‐threatening bleeding, as well as programs to ensure immediate access to bleeding control resources. The Stop the Bleed (STB) initiative seeks to educate and empower people to be immediate responders and provide control of life‐threatening bleeding until emergency medical services arrive. Well‐planned and implemented STB programs will help ensure program effectiveness, minimize variability, and provide long‐term sustainment. Comprehensive STB programs foster consistency, promote access to bleeding control education, contain a framework to guide the acquisition and placement of equipment, and promote the use of these resources at the time of a bleeding emergency. We leveraged the expertise and experience of the Stop the Bleed Education Consortium to create a resource document to help inform and guide STB program developers and implementers on the key areas for consideration when crafting strategy. These areas include (1) equipment selection, (2) logistics and kit placement, (3) educational program accessibility and implementation, and (4) program oversight, facilitation, and administration. |
