MCHD to host free classes As part of a national public service campaign to Stop the Bleed, Morrow County Health District will offer three free classes to the public on National Stop the Bleed Day, Saturday, Mar. 31 at Pioneer Me- morial Hospital. Classes will be taught by Morrow County Health District staff and will be offered at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. with each class lasting about one hour. No preregistration is required and older children may attend, said a spokes- person. Stop the Bleed is a na- tional campaign started by the White House in 2015 to address the most common cause of preventable trauma death in the United States, uncontrolled bleeding. This course explains how to stop bleeding using three tech- niques: applying pressure, packing a wound and us- ing a tourniquet until more sophisticated care arrives. Trauma surgeon Len- worth Jacobs, MD, MPH, FACS, who helped the medical examiner review autopsies following the Sandy Hook Elementary school shootings in 2012, was named to lead the Hart- ford Consensus, a commit- tee focusing on increasing survival rates from active shooter and mass casualty events. However, the skills can be used to stop heavy bleeding from any injury. “The reality is that for the first five or 10 minutes (after a trauma injury), the person who is going to save you is the person right beside you,” Jacobs says. “What we want is for Stop the Bleed or hemorrhage control to be as common as CPT,” he adds.
