REMOTE Stop the Bleed Part 3 Wound Packing first page

Bring your students back together in a shared meeting platform. Ask students what material they used. Did they stop the bleeding? If yes, how? If not, why not? What could they have done differently? Allow students to interact and share with each other after this activity. 6. Measure the “blood” remaining in the bottle. Did more than half of the water leak out before your group was able to stop the bleeding? Provide a measuring cup or graduated cylinder for the students to measure the remaining liquid. Ask students to measure how much (if any) water is left in their bottle. They can use a kitchen measuring cup (with parent’s permission). Ask each student to report what was left in their bottle. This is a good time to reinforce the bottle held 40-50% of an adult’s blood volume. If an adult loses 40-50% of their blood volume, there is a low probability that the victim will survive. If it took more than 3-5 minutes to stop the bleeding, there is a low probability that the victim survived 7. How long did it take your group (minutes or seconds) to stop the bleeding of the small wound. Hopefully in 3-5 minutes or if less than ½ of the water leaked out. Using a meeting platform, assign students into breakout rooms to compare their times and results. Allow students that managed to stop the bleeding and save their victim to share “how” they did it! Students need to critically think about items in the classroom that can be used to protect their hands from blood. If not using gloves, students will have blood on their hands. This is a great opportunity to reinforce the student’s need to hang on to their pair of gloves (if provided). Students will probably not have gloves at home. It’s a good idea to ask if they have blood on their hands or other places. Now is the time to talk about handwashing, completing a blood exposure incident report and reporting to their healthcare provider that they have had a blood exposure. It’s a good time to talk about glove alternatives i.e. zipper locked bags, garbage bags, or any material that will not allow blood to contaminate the hands. 10. If you have blood on your hands, what are you going to do next? There are 3 essential steps: 1. correct hand hygiene technique (hand sanitizer is not appropriate for use in this situation),2. complete a blood exposure report and 3. report their exposure to a physician as quickly as possible.). 8. Do you think your victim survived? If yes, why? If no, why not? 9. Do you have “blood” on your hands or gloves?
