CPR, Stop the Bleed and Community Action

Mike Brown hosts this JEMS Podcast Save a Life Day special during EMS Week 2026, joined by Chief Rom Duckworth and Dr. Shira Schlesinger. We celebrate EMS professionals and focus on two lifesaving interventions: bystander CPR and bleeding control. Topics include barriers to community CPR, Sidewalk CPR Week and practical, low-cost ways to increase engagement. They discuss Stop the Bleed realities: tourniquet over application concerns, the need for tourniquet correction and conversion by trained prehospital clinicians, and strategies to co locate tourniquets with AEDs.
