Haemorrhage is one of the main causes of death in injuries in both civilian and military conditions. Controlling bleeding is the most important task facing the rescuer when helping a casualty. There are many ways to control bleeding, but these methods are often misused. Most of the methods described have their roots in battlefield medicine developed on the basis of experience from armed conflicts. Currently, there is a clear trend towards adapting tactical medicine solutions for civil rescues because they are effective and simple. Increased awareness among civilian rescuers and regular training will hopefully lead to more effective help for injured people. The authors' work focused on the construction of an effective trainer to mimic a hip wound and a practical examination of how training affects the time to stop bleeding using the wound packing technique.
