EVERYONE PLEASE JOIN US IN CAMPUS COURTYARD 10 AM MAY 15, 2019 FOR A NEWS EVENT
On May 15, 2019, the State of Hawaiʻi Trauma System — including the Hawaiʻi State Department of Health, Emergency Medical Services Branch and the Trauma Advisory Council, the University of Hawaiʻi Mānoa (UHM) John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM ), and Hawaiʻi‘s major health and academic training partners — will gather on the UHM Kakaʻako campus in a one-day call to action to promote ways to “Stop the Bleed.”
Trauma teams and UHM JABSOM medical students will be on hand to demonstrate how to get trained, get equipped, be ready, be empowered, spread the word and Stop the Bleed. FIFTEEN information booths will be set up for you to stroll through.
Research has shown that bystanders armed with “Stop the Bleed” training, and little or no other medical experience, can save lives by recognizing the signs of life-threatening bleeding and taking key steps to control it – even before emergency responders arrive
Uncontrolled bleeding is a major cause of preventable deaths. Approximately 40% of trauma-related deaths worldwide are due to bleeding or its consequences, establishing hemorrhage as the most common cause of preventable death in trauma.
- It takes only 2 to 5 minutes to bleed out. (average time)
- Average time for 1st responders to arrive is 7 to 10 minutes.
- Bystanders can fill the gap with STOP THE BLEED.
