Pima County residents now have 25 more trained and certified immediate responders among their ranks! On Saturday, October 28th, these exceptional young men and women from the county’s Joint Technical Education District’s (JTED) Heavy Equipment Operations Program and University of Arizona Emergency Medical Services (UAEMS), completed the necessary educational requirements to obtain American College of Surgeon’s Bleeding Control Certification. Civilians need basic training in Bleeding Control principles so they can provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders can take over care of an injured person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths may occur. Although no single set of skills or response can fit all injury, trauma, or active violence situations, making sure everyone knows his or her options and can react decisively will save valuable time and lives. As members of our extended community family, these young professionals now have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help save a life!

'Stop the Bleeding' class aims to empower people to help in emergency situations

When a gunman opened fire on a Las Vegas crowd, bystanders rushed in to help save lives. On Thursday night, Oct. 19, a special training session was held at Banner-University Medical Center in Tucson to educate folks on how to help stop the bleeding in any emergency. The “Stop the Bleeding Coalition” is a national initiative to empower people to take action during a shooting or car crash. Uncontrolled bleeding can result in death in as little as five to 10 minutes. Folks learned basic techniques to control bleeding by using their hands or a tourniquet until first responders can take over. One of the attendees, Suzy Burros, was coming out of the Walgreens, across the parking lot from Safeway on Jan. 8, 2011. That's when Jared Loughner shot U.S. Rep Gabby Giffords in the head. Six people were killed. Burros told Tucson News Now she remembers that day vividly and wishes she had been better prepared to help. “They weren’t even letting meds in yet because they were still locking down the parking lot and there were civilians helping – and I was too scared. I didn’t know what to do. We don’t expect to ever use it, but to have the knowledge – it’s pretty cool," Burros said. If you’re interested in attending the next “Stop the bleeding” class or to schedule a group class, email Susan Kinkade at Susan.Kinkade@BannerHealth.com.
