46 - Pneumothoraces

from Back to Basics · host Chris Seitz, MD and Jason Seitz, EMT-P, RN

In this episode, Jason and Chris walk you through the lungs and when they collapse. Not the balloon you might think, the spongy tissue of the lungs “collapses” when air enters the pleural space between the outer layers of the lung tissue. Whether these layers remind you of a pillow case, a hot pocket, a garbage bag, or anything in between, we’ll leave it up to you…some analogies don’t land so well.
