CHICAGO (CBS) — More than 300 Chicago buildings now have new kits to save lives.
The 350 items are called STOP THE BLEED kits. Each comes with a tourniquet, gauze, scissors, gloves and an instruction manual.
They can be found in library branches, at Navy Pier, City Hall and other buildings. The kits can turn anyone willing to help into a first responder, using simple techniques to aid an injured person until paramedics arrive.
