Chest decompression needle

Would you ever use a chest decompression needle? That’s a medical device that somebody who doesn’t have enough pressure in their chest would need just to help them breathe better. With a collapsed lung, or tension pneumothorax (when air gets trapped in the chest), the individual may struggle to breathe. A chest decompression needle can help release the trapped air so the individual can breathe.

When and How to Use a Chest Decompression Needle

In an emergency, doctors use a chest decompression needle when someone can’t breathe well due to a collapsed lung or a condition called tension pneumothorax. It is essential to use this needle judiciously and only when absolutely necessary. To operate it, a health care worker would locate the appropriate space on the chest and then gently insert the needle to let out the air.
