DMTR 19 - Tension pneumothorax

[@Shuttlekilla]

holy shit I thought she was gonna do it

[@notrealatall196]

I almost thought she did it😅.

[@gusjeazer]

We use special longer needles and no syringe, we just hear for airflow and see if the symptoms get better. Good video.

[@Isaac_cobo]

I’ve seen other instances where they use that just to see the depth and then they take their 10 G needle, but I guess some just go with a syringe alone?

Older version as of treatment,pls update

[@jamesjohnson2988]

She only explained 1 out of many placement options and she said to place needle d under the rib of the semiconductor intercostal space (nerves/ blood vessels)

[@jamesjohnson2988]

*****Second intercostal***

@@jamesjohnson2988 like 2 of them this is the most common one tho

[@jamesjohnson2988]

Either way It’s best to treat it as hema/pneuma thorax and have them lay on their efected side

[@amjadshafiq8145]

So this has become opened pneumothorax now

[@yungturtle7033]

Yes because a „normal“ pneumothorax isnt that highly dangerous when it comes to circulation

[@yungturtle7033]

@Ahmed H. B. Murad No it isnt. A pneumothorax isn't as drastic as a tension pneumothorax. It's still an emergency and must be dealt with in a strict matter, but it cant kill you as fast as a tension pneumothorax.

[@notyourbusiness99450]

Well, as I understand that's the point- to transform a tension pneumothorax into an open one, so that the air can leave pleural cavity. And also, open pneumothorax becomes a problem if the wound is wider than 2/3 of the trachea(smth to do with phisics). But in general, in open one, you apply an occlusive dressing, attached at 3 points to the chest wall and leave a drenaje.

No disinfection?

[@Surgeon2023]

I didn't get why srynge's used here. Just needle is enough. air you are supposed to evacuate is more than 10cc or so... let the air leak to decompress the hemithorax.

[@roycoemar]

incorrect! 5th ic space anterior to mid axillary line... or finger

[@fatemazehera5424]
