       Bleeding Control (4-6 Hours)
       The Bleeding Control course (BCON) was motivated by the 2012
       tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary and multiple tragedies that
       have occurred since that time. With what is known as the
       Hartford Consensus, leaders in law enforcement, representatives
       from the federal government, and the medical community convened
       to  address the issue of survivability from traumatic injuries
       during man made or natural mass casualty events. The resulting
       information concluded that survivable injuries that resulted in
       fatalities often were related to severe bleeding, which when
       left unattended to in a timely manner, caused the death of the
       casualties. The consensus concluded that by providing first
       responders (LE, Fire, EMS) and Civilian bystanders with the
       basic skills and equipment to stop uncontrolled bleeding in an
       emergency situation, lives would be saved. Skills the student
       will learn consist of the proper application of tourniquets as
       first line life-saving interventions as well as proper
       application of packing gauze/ hemostatic agents to areas of
       uncontrolled bleeding.
       *Students will also receive a Tourniquet upon completion of
       this training.
