On Pins and Needles: Prehospital Chest Decompression

On Pins and Needles: Prehospital Chest Decompression

Prehospital needle decompression is a rare but potentially life-saving procedure. Prior studies on chest decompression in trauma patients have been small, limited to single institutions or emergency medical services (EMS) agencies, and lacked appropriate comparator groups, making the effectiveness of this intervention uncertain. This Journal Club episode reviews a study that examined the association of prehospital needle decompression with early mortality in patients requiring emergent chest decompression.
