Insights

The Bleeding Control Basic (BCon) course effectively trained healthcare providers in Japan to manage severe bleeding using tourniquets. Participants reported high satisfaction and confidence in the life-saving techniques learned.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Trauma Care
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • The American College of Surgeons developed the Bleeding Control Basic (BCon) course to equip individuals with skills to manage life-threatening hemorrhage.
  • The first BCon course in Japan for healthcare providers (HCPs) was conducted in July 2018.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the utility, participant satisfaction, and confidence levels associated with the BCon course.
  • To evaluate HCPs' experience with using vascular tourniquets after completing the course.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to BCon course participants (physicians, nurses, EMTs) from December 2018 to December 2019.
  • Participants rated perceived utility, satisfaction, confidence, and tourniquet experience on a 10-point Likert scale.

Main Results:

  • 163 HCPs completed the course and survey.
  • Average ratings for utility, satisfaction, confidence, and tourniquet experience were approximately 9 out of 10.
  • Nurses reported higher overall satisfaction than physicians (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • The BCon course and the use of tourniquets were positively received by all participating HCPs in Japan.
  • The findings support the BCon course as an effective educational tool for bleeding control in the Japanese healthcare setting.
