Needle thoracostomy (NT) is a valuable adjunct in the management of tension
pneumothorax (tPTX), a life-threatening condition encountered mainly in trauma
and critical care environments. Most commonly, needle thoracostomies are used in
the prehospital setting and during acute trauma resuscitation to temporize the
affected individuals prior to the placement of definitive tube thoracostomy (TT).
Because it is both an invasive and emergent maneuver, NT can be associated with a
number of potential complications, some of which may be life-threatening. Due to
relatively common use of this procedure, it is important that healthcare
providers are familiar, and ready to deal with, potential complications of NT.
