Stop the Bleed
One of the most important steps to take when a person has been shot is being able to stop the bleeding. After a severe injury, a person can bleed to death in as little as 3 minutes. This is why we focus so heavily on teaching your staff members how to control bleeding in emergency situations involving gunshot wounds.
A range of emergency bleeding control techniques can be used, and we will show your staff members how to implement the most important ones. They will also learn how to use the equipment needed to control the bleeding as effectively as possible should the need ever arise.
