This is great news coming from central Kentucky. If you are looking for a wonderful, well made program for your paramedic, this is the place to be. Congratulations Daniel Forbing for all your hard work and dedication

🎉 Big News for the BCTC Paramedic Program! 🎉

We have officially completed our initial accreditation site visit, and I am incredibly proud to share that there were NO violations.

Even more meaningful was the feedback from the site visitors, who stated:

“This is an exceptional program with clinical opportunities that are not offered at other programs, which is outstanding.”

For a program that was built from the ground up, this outcome reflects the hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence shown by our faculty, staff, clinical partners, and—most importantly—our students. The strength of our clinical experiences and the support of our partners truly set this program apart.

This milestone affirms that we are delivering a high-quality, student-centered paramedic education that prepares graduates for real-world practice and leadership in EMS.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this possible. This is only the beginning—and the future of the BCTC Paramedic Program is incredibly bright. 🚑🔥

It’s not that serious. But still flick the bubbless in the line.

TRAUMA MYTHS: Air Embolus from Peripheral IV Line
❤️ 🚑
In adults, a clinically significant air embolus typically requires tens of milliliters of air. Specifically, it often takes 50 milliliters or more, delivered rapidly, to create a dangerous situation.
While there is a common myth that any amount of air is fatal, medical data—particularly from modern combat medicine in Iraq and Afghanistan—has shown that small bubbles in a peripheral line do not create emboli,. These microbubbles are generally harmless because they are absorbed in the pulmonary circulation before they can cause clinical harm.
To put this volume into perspective, the air must be delivered in a large, sudden quantity rather than as isolated tiny bubbles to overwhelm the body's natural ability to absorb it.
Analogy Think of the pulmonary circulation like a household sponge; it can easily soak up and neutralize a few stray drops of water (microbubbles), but it becomes completely overwhelmed if you suddenly pour an entire bucket of water (50+ mL of air) onto it at once.

The T wave represents repolarization. If you do not see a clear discernible T wave after a paced beat, you never depolarized.
