Mayo Clinic Minute: Tips to stop the bleed in an emergency

If you came upon an emergency where a person is bleeding, would you know what to do? During National Trauma Month, May 20 is acknowledged as Stop the Bleed Day — a day to teach people how to take to control of serious bleeding.

In this demonstration, Gwen Meyer, a Trauma Center nurse and trauma outreach coordinator at Mayo Clinic, simulates how to stop the bleed, with Todd Emanuel, a Mayo Clinic trauma performance improvement coordinator. It can be as easy as A, B, C.

Please note, this is a simulation.
