Pressure Breathing for G

In this episode of The Hangar – Aviation Medicine Chats, we dive into pressure breathing for G (PBG)—a critical technique that helps fighter pilots and aircrew withstand high-G forces. We’ll break down how PBG works, why it’s essential for G-tolerance, and how it complements the Anti-G Straining Manoeuvre (AGSM). Whether you're revising for the DAvMed or just curious about the science behind high-performance flying, this episode will keep you on course. Strap in and breathe easy!
