Four questions, live numbers
§Worksheet
What is better training worth? Four questions. Your numbers on screen before we ask for anything.
Answer a question to see numbers.
6.1 Computed values
Answer the four questions above and we'll size a package for you. It takes about a minute, and nothing is sent anywhere.
6.2 Against your current baseline
| Baseline | Reps available | High-quality reps |
|---|---|---|
| Nothing / on each other / improvised | Effectively unlimited | None. The instructor has to make the call |
| Anatomical prop | Unlimited | None. Nothing responds |
| Responsive limb trainer | Limited by stations | Yes, but the same wound every time |
| Full-body simulator | One station | Yes, but about 1.2 per trainee in a 20-person class |
| RDMT, 6 stations | 144 per class | 7.2 per trainee, across 3 different wounds |
6.3a What hands-on practice does
12% → 92%
In a published study, about 12% of ordinary people could correctly apply a tourniquet before hands-on training. After it: 92%. Watching a video doesn't do that. Practicing on equipment that responds does.
6.3b And the skill fades
40%
of trainees could no longer apply a tourniquet six months after a one-time course.
Bleeding control isn't learned once. It's kept with regular, realistic reps, which is what more stations and more hands-on time per trainee buy.
6.3c The bar this purchase has to clear
0.2%
The federal government values one life at $14,100,000.
If our training equipment creates even a 0.2% chance of preventing a single death, this package has paid for itself.
For scale: in the study above, hands-on practice moved the share of people who could stop the bleed by 80 percentage points. The bar here is 0.2%.
6.4 The evidence
Bleeding is what kills people who could have been saved.
Of battlefield deaths that doctors later judged survivable, more than 9 in 10 were from bleeding that wasn't stopped in time.
Tourniquets work.
Civilians who got a tourniquet before reaching the hospital were about 6 times more likely to survive.
This training is required, and it never stops.
The military requires recertification every 3 years, or within 12 months of deploying. More than 1.5 million civilians have been through Stop the Bleed since 2017.
- Petrone et al., The American Surgeon, 2023: correct tourniquet placement rose from 12.8% to 92.3% among civilians (17.4% to 94.8% among security personnel) after hands-on Stop the Bleed training.
- Weinman, Journal of Emergency Nursing, 2020: 39% of trainees were unable to apply a tourniquet successfully six months after a bleeding-control course; mean skill scores fell from 100% to 69%.
- Eastridge et al., Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2012: 976 of 4,596 deaths (2001–2011) judged potentially survivable; 90.9% from uncontrolled hemorrhage.
- Teixeira et al., Journal of the American College of Surgeons, May 2018: adjusted odds ratio 5.86 for survival with prehospital tourniquet use in peripheral vascular injury.
