In this episode of the Pro-PA Podcast, Prof G, PA-C, breaks down Pneumothorax into the most high-yield essentials for PA students and clinicians. Covering Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax, Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax, and Tension Pneumothorax, this episode focuses on Kinder Patho (simplified pathophysiology), who it affects, clinical presentation, workup, treatment, and key pearls. Pro G also shares helpful mnemonics, highlights differences between textbook ("book med") and real-life ("street med") management, and wraps up with vignette-style practice questions to reinforce your learning.
