An ACS Stop the Bleed course is for people who are interested in learning this lifesaving skill for bleeding control. The American College of Surgeons Stop the Bleed program has trained nearly 4 million people including students, teachers, and community groups. We are committed to training anyone who is old enough to understand what the course teaches and is interested in learning how to STOP THE BLEED® and save a life.
Frontline Response teaches 2-hour, in-person Stop the Bleed courses for anyone who wants to be prepared to save a life, whether it be themselves, a loved one or a stranger. Because uncontrolled bleeding is the primary cause of preventable death from a traumatic injury, this course, along with a CPR class, is considered the bare minimum standard every member of society should be trained at.

- Equipment

- Gauze (hemostatic vs. non-hemostatic)
- Chest seals (vented vs. non-vented)
- iTClamps
