Abstract

Prehospital needle decompression has long been considered life-saving in patients with tension pneumothorax. The process Improvement (PI) study of needle decompression noted an increase in the number of non-therapeutic needle decompressions. As a part of our regional PI process we evaluated all needle decompression cases presenting to the single regional level one trauma center.
