Practical Considerations for Managing Pneumothorax Patients

The chapter delves into practical considerations for managing patients with pneumothorax, advising on the use of 100% oxygen for improved absorption, advocating against non-invasive methods like BiPAP, and suggesting the use of a simple non-rebreather mask. The speakers also discuss varying levels of care such as step-down units or ICU placement based on institutional protocols, with some patients being discharged from the ER with close monitoring.
