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!

Should you not place a Halo, or other occlusive dressing, before doing a needle decompression, as this is a sucking chest wound?
After doing a self paced emt course and essentially learning from a book, your videos are literally heaven for me to learn better! Going into skills week your videos and course have made me so confident! Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
This was a better explanation than the explanation I was given in class. I understand it now.
17 yrs on the job and I'm always learning. Thank you for continuing education.💯👍🏻
Thank you for your service!
I’m definitely tapping in
Let's go!
Wow. We studying this chapter right now in my EMT class. I need this information. It helped me understand it alot better.
Welcome to the channel! If you'd like to learn even more the study course is here: www.prepareforems.com
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.
He said needle decompression at the ALS level
I understand it better thru your explanation than from the doctor instructor. Thanks Sir. 👏👏👏
Glad it was helpful!
Love your content I take my test tomorrow NREMT!! ❤
Good luck!!
Sooooooooo........ it's been three months. Did you pass?
This is so simple! Thank you so much Evan!
Great video. Love the information brother!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for making all these videos their very helpful
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?
I need an answer to this question because I'm stuck on it.
There actually will be some air escaping and it will look like the blood in the wound is bubbling out of it, but the sucking pressure on inspiration allows all the outside air to get into the wound while on expiration, the air inside is under so much pressure pushing out on the rest of the pleural walls that not much of it escapes through the tiny hole. In summary, more air can enter through the wound and through the hole in the lung on inspiration, but can't get out from the lung, and can't get out as fast through the wound, to relive all the pressure, causing it to build up over time. Tension pneumothorax is a late sign of a punctured lung and is a lot more serious, the beginning of GSW or stab wounds into the lung just start out as regular pneumothorax and then over time, build up into tension pneumothorax. Tension pneumothorax refers to pneumothorax being so severe, it causes tracheal deviation and obstructive shock from so much pressure in the pleural space.
hopefully that helps. Another thing to add, the air can't get out from the lung hole and back out through the trachea because the lung forms a one way valve and blocks the trachea when they breathe out, and then like I said before, the wound hole is too small for all the rest of the air to exit. Idk how well I explained that but hopefully that helps! 👍
Awesome video. Helps alot
Glad it helped!
Can't Positive pressure ventilation worsen Tension Pneumothorax?
Yup thats what I was taught in school
I thought the difference between the two is that in a tension pneumothorax, the air cannot escape the pleural cavity?
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?
roger that .load and go
semper fidelis
WNna be the best in school now
Always good
Ppv for a pneumo??
Hey Evan you said bls could place 3 dressings kn the wound but could it be possible to place an occlusive dressing?
Never occlusive in a chest wound
AND I COLLAPSE!
Do you still get jvd if it's a stab would in their left chest?
Yes, im pretty sure.
i thought he was bald I was so surprised when he turned his head
