Warning: Tension Pneumothorax is critical condition where air is trapped in the pleural cavity, which if left untreated will result in death. Ensure placement in 2nd intercostal space perpendicular to and through the anterior chest wall lateral to the mid-clavicular line. This anatomic placement will avoid inadvertent injury to any avoiding the cardiac box, avoiding internal organs. Improper use may result in a tension pneumothorax
Continually monitor patient for: • Potential bleeding from site • Potential local hematoma. • Occlusion or bending of the cannula • Progressive respiratory distress • Unilateral decreased chest expansion
