Students at Heppner High School participated in a class on ways to stop bleeding for Stop the Bleed Month in May. HHS re- source officer and former military medic, Ken Kip- pley taught the hands-on class. The focus of the pro- gram is to provide an imme- diate response to bleeding, recognize life-threatening bleeding and to know ap- propriate ways to stop the bleeding. According to the presentation, the help given by an immediate responder can often make the differ- ence between life and death, even before professional rescuers arrive. With the right training, everyone can help save lives. Stop the Bleeding Co- alition was started by the Hartford Consensus (Amer- ican College of Surgeons) after the Sandy Hook shoot- ing. Students learned how to assess the wounds/trau- ma, apply tourniquets and pack wounds to stop the bleeding. Office Kippley allowed the students to race each other in applying tourniquets on him. “The only thing worse than a death is one that could have been prevent- ed,” Kippley said. Addi- tional information is avail- able at stopthebleedingco- alition.org.
