May is Stop the Bleed Month: Here’s What You Should Know
Stop the Bleed Month is here: are you ready to save a life? Uncontrolled bleeding is a leading cause of preventable death after trauma, and it can take just minutes to become fatal. DeSales has 38 AED cabinets across campus equipped with Stop the Bleed kits. These are your first line of defense in a bleeding emergency.
These kits contain essential tools like tourniquets, gauze, gloves, and trauma shears designed to control life-threatening bleeding until professional help arrives. Knowing how to use them can mean the difference between life and death.
Remember, bleeding emergencies can happen anywhere on campus, at home, or in public. While our campus is prepared with kits, your knowledge and action are what can truly save lives.
