Tension pneumothorax is usually treated with urgent needle decompression.
2.
Sucking chest wounds and tension pneumothorax may result.

In fact, this area only gives a resonant percussion note in hyperinflation, emphysema or tension pneumothorax.
4.
Complications such as pneumothorax, tension pneumothorax, or subcutaneous emphysema can occur if these chest tubes become clogged.
5.
If mechanical ventilation is required, the risk of tension pneumothorax is greatly increased and the insertion of a chest tube is mandatory.
6.
Any open chest wound should be covered with an airtight seal, as it carries a high risk of leading to tension pneumothorax.
7.
Usually not included are intraosseous infusion, medical assisted rapid sequence induction, surgical airway management, decompression of tension pneumothorax and advanced medication.
8.
Chest tubes are required in PSPs that have not responded to needle aspiration, in large SSPs ( > 50 % ), and in cases of tension pneumothorax.
9.
The servo display is a general clinical indicator of changes in the resistance of the patient's lungs, as well as loss of lung volume due to tension pneumothorax.
10.
Tension pneumothorax occurs when the opening that allows air to enter the pleural space functions as a one-way valve, allowing more air to enter with every breath but none to escape.
