This is one of the main traumatic emergencies you will learn about in EMT school and Paramedic school.

Tension Pneumothorax most commonly is caused by a traumatic force that causes outside air to enter the pleural space and collapse the lung on the affected side. Furthermore, the outside air pressure becomes so great that the heart gets involves and will ultimately fail as a pump. (More on all this in the video)

Tension Pneumothorax has hallmark signs and symptoms that you will find on your NREMT exams at every level from EMT, AEMT, and Paramedic.

Without further a due, let's master Tension Pneumothorax!

P.S. - As I tell you with all my videos, if you watch the video back over twice you will learn twice as much.

Be Great!

You should specify that needle decompression is only done by Paramedics not EMTs ("basics"). We'll teach 19 year old infantry privates to do it in combat but only a paramedic can do it in the civilian world.

[aaronbulgrin]

Great video. Love the information brother!

[joannatorres]

Thank you for making all these videos their very helpful

I thought the difference between the two is that in a tension pneumothorax, the air cannot escape the pleural cavity?

[cassidywarner]

So in a pneumothorax the air moves in and out but in a tension pneumothorax the air only moves in causing the lung to collapse and squeeze the hear but what is not allowing the air to move out?

[annalg]

Can't Positive pressure ventilation worsen Tension Pneumothorax?

[jonathonjanuary]

Ok so in the given scenario of a GSW to the chest. What is preventing the air from leaving the chest thru the bullet wound with the patient breathing but allowing it to leave with posi pressure ventilation?
