UCI Health | Stop the Bleed

Would you know what to do if someone near you was bleeding and needed help? Dr. Jeffry Nahmias, a UCI Health trauma surgeon who has taught Stop-the-Bleed classes to civilians and medical personnel since 2017, demonstrates the proper technique to control bleeding until first responders arrive. He shows how to apply pressure to and pack a trauma wound, use a tourniquet and keep a bleeding patient warm — actions that could help save someone's life.
