According to the American Heart Association, Hands-Only CPR can double
or even triple a victim's chance of survival in an emergency. Hands-Only
CPR helps keep the vital organs alive until EMS arrives. Please contact
rsmoore@baxterregional.org to schedule your group to learn the two simple steps of Hands-Only CPR.
Stop The Bleed Class
Massive bleeding from any cause, but particularly from an active shooter
or explosive event where a response is delayed can result in death. Similar
to how the general public learns and performs CPR, the public must learn
proper bleeding control techniques, including how to use their hands,
dressings, and tourniquets. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled
bleeding, within five to 10 minutes. However, anyone at the scene can
act as an immediate responder and save lives if they know what to do.
In this class, you will learn what to do until help arrives. Please contact
astrain@baxterregional.org to schedule your group's class.
