Bleeding Control
Severe bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death from trauma. In accidents, workplace injuries, or violent incidents, a person can bleed out in as little as 5 minutes—often before EMS arrives. Health Solutions of Arizona teaches basic first aid which gives you simple techniques that anyone can use to save a life. These skills—direct pressure, wound packing, bandaging and tourniquet application—turn bystanders into immediate responders. Over 5 million people worldwide have been trained, proving that preparedness works.

The Core Techniques Everyone Should Know
Direct Pressure: The first and often most effective step—press firmly on the wound with a clean cloth, gauze, towel or even just your hands.
Wound Packing: For deep wounds, pack with gauze (ideally hemostatic gauze that promotes clotting) and apply pressure.
Tourniquet Application: For severe limb bleeding, place a tourniquet 2-3 inches above the wound and tighten until bleeding stops.
The Importance of cognitive knowledge alone isn't enough—hands-on practice builds confidence and ensures proper technique. Certification provides official recognition, often required for workplaces, schools, or volunteer roles. In Arizona, many providers offer first aid courses, which include bleeding control. Getting certified means you're prepared for real emergencies, and you'll receive a completion certificate to verify your skills.
