Implementing Stop The Bleed training in medical school significantly boosts student confidence in controlling major hemorrhage. This valuable skill set is highly regarded by future physicians and healthcare professionals.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Hemorrhage control is a critical skill for healthcare professionals.
  • Current medical school curricula may not adequately address hemorrhage control training.
  • The Stop The Bleed (STB) program offers a standardized approach to hemorrhage control education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of integrating STB training into a formal medical school curriculum.
  • To determine if STB training enhances medical students' confidence and comfort in managing major hemorrhage.
  • To evaluate students' perceptions of the value of hemorrhage control training for their future careers.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study was conducted with 96 third-year medical students at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.

  • Hemorrhage control education was incorporated into the surgery clerkship using the STB program.
  • Pre- and post-training surveys were administered to measure changes in comfort and confidence levels, with a post-training knowledge quiz.

    • Main Results:

    • STB training led to a statistically significant increase in students' comfort and confidence with all hemorrhage-control techniques.
    • A significant improvement was observed in students' perception of the importance of this training for physicians and allied health professionals.
    • The 2-hour STB course effectively increased students' ability to manage major traumatic bleeding.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating a 2-hour Stop The Bleed course into the medical school curriculum is an effective method for improving students' hemorrhage control skills.
    • Medical students perceive STB training as a valuable and beneficial addition to their undergraduate education.
    • Hemorrhage control training, such as the STB program, should be considered a standard component of undergraduate medical education.
