The main objective is to implement a system to use available resources of the Stop the Bleed campaign to widely educate members of the university community in the utilization of multiple compression techniques including direct pressure, tourniquet application, and wound packing. Additional course objectives include using the Stop the Bleedsm campaign to teach participants how to fit into the emergency response team as the immediate responder and the identification of life-threatening bleeding.

At the end of this simulation learners will be able to: 1) Perform team-focused CPR using effective leadership and communication skills during prehospital resuscitation. 2) Employ high-quality CPR with an emphasis on compressions and early defibrillation. 3) Demonstrate appropriate airway management utilizing an oropharyngeal airway and bag-valve-mask, blind-insertion airway device, and/or endotracheal intubation during cardiac arrest. 4) Recognize and appropriately defibrillate pulseless ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. 5) Formulate an appropriate differential diagnosis for pulseless electrical activity.
