Stop the bleeding techniques for emergencies Uncontrolled bleeding is a serious emergency. Blood loss due to trauma is a leading cause of preventable death in the United States. If care is delayed, even by a few minutes, uncontrolled bleeding can quickly become life-threatening. When active violence occurs, time is critical to survival. Being able to react quickly and with confidence is vital to saving lives. And until law enforcement and EMS arrive, you are the immediate responder to others and yourself.
