    A Proposal for ___________________________________________________

    Traumatic injuries have been established as a leading cause of death worldwide. Severe
    trauma accounts for more than five million deaths annually (Spahn et el., 2013). In the wake of the
    recent Las Vegas tragedy, it is apparent that the first people to respond in a time of crisis are not
    necessarily first responders, but bystanders; i.e., the people who are less injured or not injured at all.
    Unfortunately, they often lack the knowledge or tools necessary to do so. In one specific study done
    on trauma injuries, it was found that about 40% of trauma deaths are due simply to bleeding, which
    in turn makes hemorrhage the most common cause of preventable death (Curry et al., 2011). Early
    intervention when it comes to hemorrhage can assist in avoidance of a majority of preventable
    deaths. Such early intervention can be achieved through proper training and the use of bleeding
    control trauma kits. Stop the Bleed kits have been created to provide the tools necessary to stop
    hemorrhage. These kits, along with proper training, can be utilized to help bystander to save lives.
    Stop the Bleed kits include gloves, gauze, compression bandages, tourniquets, a permanent marker,
    bandage scissors, and quik-clot bandages. Kits can be bought for $100 and have a shelf-life of five
    years before expiration. Training would include how to properly apply pressure, pack wounds, and
    properly apply tourniquets. This training for our bystanders and the providing of kits in public
    places would reduce the number of unnecessary hemorrhagic deaths in our communities.
    In summary: 1} Over five million trauma deaths annually worldwide; 2} 40% of trauma
    deaths are due to hemorrhage; 3} Stop the Bleed kits and training should be made available to public
    Proposal
     Stop the Bleed kits and training should be made available to the public. At the very least, a single
    Stop the Bleed Kit would be placed where any institution keeps an Automated External
    Defibrillators (AEDs).
     Training would be included any time CPR training is provided to the public or first responders,
    and renewed every two years with CPR certification renewal.
     Free education sessions would be provided to not only the public, but also school systems. This is
    not limited to public schools, but includes any private school and college or university.
     The teaching would be directed towards any student in the 9th grade or above, also including all
    teachers. This would also include any school administration staff.
     Health care professionals be certified in Stop the Bleed protocol and have the ability to educate
    others regarding the proper use of Stop the Bleed kits.
     Any person who is regarded as a first responder would be required to carry a Stop the Bleed kit in
    their vehicle. Any first-responder should carry a tourniquet on their belt, not only for the safety of
    the general public but also for their own personal use in the case of emergency.
     Public health clubs, such as any public gym, would be required to have a Stop the Bleed kit and
    all employees should be certified in the proper use of the Stop the Bleed kits.
