The Trauma Program taught Stop the Bleed to the new UAMS Medical Students this morning. The training was led by Dr. Jordan Greer.

"Stop the Bleed" is a national awareness campaign and training program in the US aimed at educating bystanders on how to stop life-threatening bleeding after injuries. It's based on the idea that bystanders can save lives if they know what to do in the critical moments before professional help arrives.

A - Alert (call 911)
B - Find where the Bleeding is located
C - Compress the bleeding (this can include direct pressure, packing the wound for bleeding control, or placing a tourniquet on an extremity above the injury)

Have you heard of Acute Care Surgery but not quite sure what it includes?

It’s actually made up of three specialties that overlap to handle the most urgent surgical cases:
🔹 Trauma Surgery – sudden injuries like car crashes, falls, and gunshot wounds
🔹 Emergency General Surgery – things like appendicitis or gallbladder infections
🔹 Surgical Critical Care – managing patients who are seriously ill or recovering from major surgery in the ICU

When these three areas come together, you get Acute Care Surgery — a team ready 24/7 to act quickly when you need us!

👏🏻

So impressed by the dedication of Ashley Faggion, APRN, who went above and beyond to ensure that her deaf patient, whose primary language is Spanish, received accurate interpretation. Her commitment ensured the patient fully understood the surgery before providing informed consent. "It was the right thing to do. She needed to know what she was signing." Amazing job, Ashley! ❤️
