EMS Week is the perfect opportunity to start a "Stop The Bleed" campaign in your community. The program is designed to place tourniquets and hemorrhage control kits in public places, like with a Public Access Defibrillator and train the public on their use. The following audio infomercial on the "Stop The Bleed" campaign was produced by the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP).
The "Got FIB?" campaign is an educational program designed to inform the public on the important warning signs of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).
