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.
