Paramedic Understanding of Tension Pneumothorax and Needle Thoracostomy (NT) Site Selection
Introduction Tension pneumothorax is an immediate threat to life. Treatment in the prehospital setting is usually achieved by needle thoracostomy (NT). Prehospital personnel are taught to perform NT, frequently in the second intercostal space (ICS) at the mid-clavicular line (MCL). Previous literatu...
