Clinical Features
PNEUMOTHORAX
Tension pneumothorax with needle decompression can be performed at bilateral mid clavicle
line, 2nd intercostal space. The pneumothorax bladders may be pierced +/-10 times, the pressure
inside the bladder will drop after repeated puncturing.
A 22 (or smaller) gauge needle is recommended for decompression of the chest. Using a smaller
gauge needle increases the longevity of the chest skin and bladders.
However, a too small gauge prevents automatic detection of the decompression event in the
simulation model.
CHEST TUBE INSERTION
Chest tube insertion can be simulated, and exploration and cut can be made at left or right
mid-axillary line at (4th and) 5th intercostals space
