Santa Clara County EMS in San Jose, CA, has promoted the Stop the Bleed campaign to help prepare the community for accidents, acts of violence, and natural disasters. As Santa Clara County prepares to host several large-scale events, officials are encouraging residents to learn basic bleeding control techniques that can save a life during an emergency.

The campaign outlines three simple steps for controlling severe bleeding:

• Step 1: Apply a tourniquet to the extremity with uncontrolled bleeding.

• Step 2: Twist or wind the windlass (rod) until the bleeding stops.

• Step 3: Write down the time the tourniquet was placed.

Image resources for the campaign were obtained from Binghamton University, State University of New York, with reference to their online guide on applying a tourniquet. Officials emphasize that learning these steps may help in saving a life during critical situations.
