SETTING UP THE TRAINER Pneumothorax Site Plug the foot pump hose into the top port located at the base of the trainer. (See Figure 1.) Pump several times to fill the inner air bladder. (The bladder has a pressure relief valve to prevent overinflation and rupture.) The procedure may now be performed at the second inter- costal space, midclavicular line.
