Does needle thoracostomy provide adequate and effective decompression of tension pneumothorax?
BACKGROUND Tension pneumothorax (tPTX) is a common and potentially fatal event after thoracic trauma. Needle decompression is the currently accepted first-line intervention but has not been well validated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a properly placed and patent needle thoracostomy (NT) compared with standard tube thoracostomy (TT) in a swine model of tPTX. ...
متن کاملEvaluation of 8.0-cm needle at the fourth anterior axillary line for needle chest decompression of tension pneumothorax.
BACKGROUND Five-centimeter needles at the second intercostal space midclavicular line (2MCL) have high failure rates for decompression of tension pneumothorax. This study evaluates 8-cm needles directed at the fourth intercostal space anterior axillary line (4AAL). METHODS Retrospective radiographic analysis of 100 consecutive trauma patients 18 years or older from January to September 2011. ...
متن کاملEmergency percutaneous needle decompression for tension pneumoperitoneum
BACKGROUND Tension pneumoperitoneum as a complication of iatrogenic bowel perforation during endoscopy is a dramatic condition in which intraperitoneal air under pressure causes hemodynamic and ventilatory compromise. Like tension pneumothorax, urgent intervention is required. Immediate surgical decompression though is not always possible due to the limitations of the preclinical management and...
متن کاملSufficient catheter length for pneumothorax needle decompression: a meta-analysis.
INTRODUCTION Needle thoracostomy is the prehospital treatment for tension pneumothorax. Sufficient catheter length is necessary for procedural success. The authors of this study determined minimum catheter length needed for procedural success on a percentile basis. METHODS A meta-analysis of existing studies was conducted. A Medline search was performed using the search terms: needle decompre...
متن کاملNeedle thoracostomy for tension pneumothorax: the Israeli Defense Forces experience.
BACKGROUND Point of injury needle thoracostomy (NT) for tension pneumothorax is potentially lifesaving. Recent data raised concerns regarding the efficacy of conventional NT devices. Owing to these considerations, the Israeli Defense Forces Medical Corps (IDF-MC) recently introduced a longer, wider, more durable catheter for the performance of rapid chest decompression. The present series repre...
