Free "Stop the bleed" classes

[2A_Tom]

As for carrying, the class that some of us in NWI took was in a place with non-compliant signs and I just covered up. I think the other INGOers were counting on me protecting them.

For those of you who have taken this class, do they teach wound packing technique (beyond simply saying "try to stuff" large wounds)?

The Officer whom lead my training gave his preferred methods and had a "show n' tell" from his experiences what does and does not work when he has put these skills to work in real life.

His gear has plenty of stories to accompany the training.

I am a Stop the Bleed instructor. This and CPR should be in everyones skill set. I am a Firefighter/Paramedic so I do Have more advanced training. This class is well worth it and you do not need a lot of fancy equipment.

Unfortunately I have been involved in a mass casualty incident off duty that involved multiple deaths. I also have come across many accident while traveling. I carry an appropriate traum Kit.

This is timely as there's some discussion about this class in the thread about "Life Saving in a mass casualty situation." I also saw a story about it on the local news this morning.

For those in the Indy area, Eskenazi Health holds this class monthly. I think the next one is coming up is next Wednesday Jan 23. You can register via the link in the OP.

I'm signed up for the class in Feb. It would be cool to see some other INGOers there.

The odds of needing to render some basic first aid to yourself or a family member is likely higher than needing to use a gun for self-defense. I know this is a gap in my training base, and I doubt I'm alone in that respect.

[STRIKE]I dont see anything but Eskanazi listed. You guys fill that Franciscan one up?[/STRIKE] had to tweak my search.

And yes, Eskanazi is a no go due to the holding floor for the jail from what I understand.

I'm debating whether I should wear my t-shirt that reads, "I'm pro gun. Change my mind."

I don't want to disrupt the class, but I am curious about the reaction it would get.

The Franciscan contact got back to me on my question. Here's the answer if it's helpful to anyone:

"Stop the Bleed teaches 3 bleeding fundamentals: Tourniquet use, wound packing, and direct pressure.

There is a PowerPoint that shows how to pack a wound and then there is hands-on skills station where the participants will practice wound packing and tourniquet application."

I believe we have taken a couple classes together with ACT. It’ll be good to know a couple people!

Took this class tonight. I believe there were 12 attendees. Three were there related to a school project and the other 9 were INGO’ers (or related).
I neglected to talk to the two gents behind me so apologies for that. Course hit the basics and then it was hands on for practice, maybe 50% spent on each. Only so much you can do in an hour and they managed to cover the A B,C’s. Heads up the parking validation did not work 100% and you’ll likely have to pay $1
I’m glad I went.
