Pneumothorax Needle
Chest Air Release Needle (Needle for Pneumothorax)
EmRescue Chest Air Release Needle is used in case of chest injuries when there is tension pneumothorax (collection of air outside lungs but inside chest under pressure)
Tension pneumothorax is commonly the result of an object puncturing a person’s lung. Due to a punctured lung, air may leave the lung and get trapped in pleural space. With more air filling the pleural space, pressure builds up and can potentially lead to a collapsed lung.
EmRescue Chest Air Release Needle is inserted to release the air pressure built in pleural space.
