Stop the Bleed Day at the Medical Museum

The top cause of preventable death in trauma is bleeding. Twenty percent of people that have died from traumatic injuries could have survived with quick bleeding control. "Stop the Bleed" is a national campaign to address the most common cause of preventable death in the nation: uncontrolled bleeding.

Join museum educators for a demonstration on hemorrhage control to include use of blood-clotting bandages and tourniquets. Learn about the history of tourniquets since the Civil War.
