They just said 1. Guess we were high speed

Then the 6th intercostal on the side

9 years. My bad

If you’re high speed opfor8r I’ve heard you can go vertically between the scapula and clavicle

Too risky as a few degrees off and you just sent a needle into an aorta

But this is all in the case of a tension pneumothorax

Aka

Riperoni

Air gets in the space but can’t get out

Jabroni

If it’s a normal pneumothorax then you just use a hyfin chest seal

Duh

I can't believe you called me a moron for asking exactly that

No, you made several implications as to two completely different pieces of gear being similar

And

You’re always the first to pipe up and criticize IFAKs, arguably the most likely piece of gear anyone would use

Wtf

God forbid someone believes a tard comment <@&558119990725705748> makes and ends up decompressing an artery cuz yknow it looked cool

I did not

you fucking retard

@Solar is it the 5th or 6th intercostal space if you're doing a decomp needle on the side

k

I asked if a pnuemo was ok to just use a vented seal

i thought it was the 5th

6th I believe

🤔

Basically just don’t use a decomp needle unless you’re trained to

😬

no shit

breaking news everyone

@fjogert

don't stab people with needles if you don't know what you're doing

4th space

Yikes

Changed protocol

I was trained 5th-6th rib

Watching a YouTube video doesn’t count as training

But now it’s between 4&5

Realistically it doesn’t fucking matter between the two, but you do need some sort of accuracy

I wouldnt go lower, but all 3 can work in a pinch if you know your angles. The reason for changing could be due to complications such as the patient being obese

🤔
