Why schools

  1. <5min

    A person with a severe bleed can lose their entire circulating blood volume in under five minutes.

    Tjardes & Luecking, Military Medicine, 2018

  2. 36%

    98% of people surveyed would try to help someone who is bleeding. Only 36% said they would apply a tourniquet.

    Jacobs et al., American College of Surgeons, 2016

  3. 38states

    CPR is a high-school graduation requirement in 38 states and D.C. Bleeding control is not.

    Zhao et al., Trauma Surgery & Acute Care Open, 2019

Training works: an hour of instruction raised correct tourniquet use from 16% to 88%. Skills fade, though, falling to 54.5% within 3 to 9 months. That is why every donation includes training and support after implementation.

Goralnick et al., JAMA Surgery, 2018; Jones et al., 2023
