Description
Stop the Bleed Report
Date: July 10, 2023
To: Edina Community Health Commission
Subject: Stop the Bleed Work Plan Ini�a�ve – Recommenda�ons
Ac�on Requested: Accept Recommenda�ons
Background: In 2012 Lenworth Jacobs, Jr., MD, the Chair of Trauma Services at Har�ord hospital,
reviewed autopsies of the vic�ms of the Sandy Hook mass casualty event and came to the conclusion
that some of the fatali�es may have been preventable. He convened a panel of na�onal experts to
evaluate the response to emergencies of this nature. Ul�mately the panel produced a report known as
the Har�ord Consensus ref hich emphasized the importance of early interven�on by bystanders. In
par�cular, the panel recommended the use of compression, preferably with an�coagulant-treated pads,
and tourniquets. The panel then convened with Obama administra�on officials, including
representa�ves of the armed services. When the recommenda�ons were applied by military units in Iraq
and Afghanistan, on-field mortality fell from roughly 7% to 2%ref. With those findings, the American
college of surgeons, in coopera�on with the Department of Defense, ini�ated the Stop the Bleed®
program in October 2016.ref
Current status: Stop the Bleed encourages bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to
assist in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives. The program turns ordinary ci�zens into
trained individuals, currently numbering over 1.9 million, who can help vic�ms of any serious
hemorrhagic emergency, much in the manner that the American Heart Associa�on has trained millions
in CPR techniques. The vic�m of a bleeding emergency, be it from a mass shoo�ng event, an ice-ska�ng
lacera�on, or an automobile crash, can bleed to death within 5 minutes, so it is essen�al that bystanders
take ac�on immediately. As an illustra�ve example, a bystander placed his belt as a tourniquet above the
leg amputa�on of a vic�m of the Boston Marathon bombing. That vic�m was not unconscious from
shock but rather was awake and talking as he was wheeled to an ambulance. Edina is not immune from
the sort of mass casualty event that has trauma�zed ci�es across the US, nor are ci�zens of the city
invulnerable to catastrophic accidents. The op�mal approach for Edina is for its ci�zens to be prepared
to poten�ally save lives in such an event by learning how to control life-threatening hemorrhage. The
development of a knowledgeable ci�zenry will improve the emergent response to life-threatening
bleeding from any cause.
Face to Face Training Op�on: The city of Edina can implement regular Stop the Bleed courses, each
taught by an instructor. The 90-minute training sessions consist of lecture material followed by prac�cal
training in the use of tourniquets and compression packs. The lecture por�on of the course is available
on line at no charge ref. Each Stop the Bleed course includes hands-on experience with medical
mannequins to simulate a bleeding vic�m. Courses could be held at various City of Edina facili�es such as
City hall, fire sta�ons, Public Works Building. Instructors, who are trained by the program, are volunteers,
so costs to the city beyond facility overhead are minimal. A�er local instructors had been trained, the
courses could be adver�sed through social media, newspapers, City of Edina publica�ons and website,
and news items on radio and television. Training for instructors can be obtained by contac�ng Stop the
Bleed at
stopthebleed@facs.org.
Virtual Training Op�on: The city of Edina can implement the interac�ve course in a virtual alterna�ve or
concurrently with the in-person lecture presenta�on. This free online course can be found at na�onal
Stop the Bleed website:
htps://www.stopthebleed.org/training/
Other States: In 2022 and 2023, the states of Colorado and California passed legisla�on related to Stop
the Bleed. See link below and updates from these states below.
htps://www.stopthebleed.org/learn-more/advocate-promote-support/
Colorado Will Provide Schools with STOP THE BLEED® Training and Kits
In May 2023, the Colorado legislature passed a bipartisan bill that was signed into law by Governor Jared
Polis to provide STOP THE BLEED® kits and training to schools in the state who opt into receiving them.
The law requires the Colorado Department of Public & Environmental Health, in coordination with the
American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, to track school participation, training, and the
number of kits placed in schools.
California Passes STOP THE BLEED® Bill
During the 2022 legislative session, the state of California passed legislation—Assembly Bill 2260—that
requires the installation of trauma bleeding control kits in newly constructed public and private buildings
throughout the state. The legislation, “Emergency Response: Trauma Kits,” is the first statewide law of its
kind to make bleeding control kits widely accessible in this manner.
Minnesota Local Jurisdic�ons: Out of six local Minnesota jurisdic�ons reviewed, two had Stop the Bleed
programs on their website. They were the ci�es of Minneapolis and St. Louis Park.
Minneapolis:
The City of Minneapolis offers a free online, interac�ve course using video, interac�ve learning and
quizzes using na�onal Stop the Bleed program. See details below in italics and on the website.

STOP THE BLEED® Interactive Course
The interactive course is a virtual alternative to the in-person lecture presentation. The STOP THE BLEED®
Interactive Course guides individuals through the three methods of bleeding control using video
demonstrations, interactive learning, and spontaneous quizzes. This STOP THE BLEED® Interactive Course
is free to all students and can be taken multiple times to learn and refresh knowledge of the STOP THE
BLEED® Course. Click on the screen below to begin the course!
St. Louis Park:
The City of St. Louis Park offers a free formal presenta�on course followed by hands-on prac�ce. See
details below in italics and on the website link.
htps://www.stlouisparkmn.gov/government/departments-divisions/pulsepoint
Stop the Bleed training consists of a formal presentation followed by hands-on practice of applying direct
pressure, packing a wound and using a tourniquet to stop bleeding. Participants will receive a certificate
stating they have met the training requirements at the end of the one-hour course.
Classes are available for those ages 15 and over (an adult or guardian must be present with participants
ages 15 – 17). There is a maximum of 10 participants per training.
Training can be scheduled by contacting the fire department at 952.924.2595.

Equipment: While bystanders can save lives by applying their training from Stop the Bleed, ideally, they
would have rapid access to equipment especially developed to create the greatest opportunity for
success. Much as AEDs are now widely available in public places to allow bystanders to defibrillate heart
atack vic�ms, kits developed by Stop the Bleed contain the materials to provide op�mal emergency care
to a bleeding vic�m. The program has begun a campaign to place kits next to AEDs in other areas of the
US. In Edina, kits could be placed in heavily traveled public venues, such as supermarkets, theaters,
churches, schools, and shopping malls. A typical kit provides mul�ple sets of: One (1) tourniquet; 2 latex-
free gloves; 1 emergency bandage; 1 pair of trauma shears; 2 rolls of primed and compressed gauze
dressing; 1 H*Vent chest seal; 1 permanent marker; 4 Mylar emergency blankets.
The City of Edina could encourage local businesses to place Stop the Bleed kits next to the AEDs in their
facili�es, but the city itself would probably need to invest in kits in order to provide op�mal coverage
throughout Edina. The Stop the Bleed organiza�on sells enhanced kits for use in public venues for $500-
600 retail (htps://www.bleedingkits.org/all-products/enhanced-stop- the-bleed-sta�ons.html).
The City of Edina could place Stop the Bleed online interac�ve course on its Emergency Preparedness
website similar to the City of Minneapolis.
The City of Edina could explore partnering with the City of Richfield and offer formal presenta�on by
hands on course.
Recommenda�ons
1) The Commission recommends that the city of Edina adopt the Stop the Bleed Program because it
provides ci�zens with knowledge that may save lives of bleeding vic�ms.
2) The Commission recommends that the city of Edina make the Stop the Bleed free virtual course
available on the city of Edina’s website by linking to htps://www.stopthebleed.org/training/.
3) The Commission recommends that the city of Edina offer a face to face Stop the Bleed formal Course
by either partnering with the city of St. Louis Park’s face to face course or offering the formal course as a
city. The Commission recommends that local Instructors for the Stop the Bleed program be recruited and
trained to administer either of these program op�ons.
4) The Commission recommends that the city of Edina explore the feasibility of placing Stop the Bleed
kits in strategic loca�ons around the city depending on the willingness of local businesses and public
facili�es to acknowledge the need for those materials and on the ability of the City of Edina to fund
placement in city facili�es, par�cularly schools.
