Our work has influenced trauma treatment in emergency departments across the country. Specific research and program interests among section faculty include pain management and opioids, burn prevention and treatment, pre-hospital care, trauma care systems, Stop the Bleed first aid training, geriatric trauma care, and others.
Stop the Bleed equips the public with bleeding control techniques in the event of an emergency. Victims with uncontrolled bleeding injuries can die in 5-10 minutes, but prompt, informed responses from bystanders can buy valuable time for medical personnel to arrive. The national Stop the Bleed program is an initiative of the American College of Surgeons, the Committee on Trauma, and the Hartford Consensus.
