Stop the Bleed App!
civilians how to ‘Stop the Bleed’
The “Stop the Bleed” app, which is free of charge, was designed to teach the public how to save lives in an emergency. A new app was released to teach civilians how to “Stop the Bleed” and save lives in case of an emergency.
The free “Stop the Bleed” app was recently launched by the Uniformed Services University’s National Center for Disaster Medicine and Public Health in an effort to teach the public how to stop life-threatening bleeding.
