Bleeding Control for the Injured (B-Con) teaches participants the basic life-saving medical interventions, including bleeding control with a tourniquet, bleeding control with gauze packs or topical hemostatic agents, and opening an airway to allow a casualty to breathe. The course is designed for law enforcement officers, firefighters, security personnel, teachers and other civilians requiring this basic training. The Bleeding Control for the Injured (B-Con) course was developed by NAEMT's PHTLS Committee with the support and endorsement from the American College of Surgeons.

 

The course was developed in response to efforts by the U.S. Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services to increase collaboration between law enforcement, the fire service and EMS in responding to active shooter/IED/mass casualty events. B-Con is consistent with the recommendations of the Hartford Consensus on Improving Survival from Active Shooter Events
