Day 1 of #ESS2025 and our ATLS-approved Chest Drain & Needle Decompression model is a crowd-favourite for it's ability to train skills in needle decompression at the 2nd & 5th ICS. 📍 Visit booth F226 and explore more of our models. #trauma #needledecompression #chestdrainM

Need a realistic & cost-effective way to teach: #needledecompression, #chestdrain placement & #ultrasound of the chest? Our #simulation has lifelike feedback from air release to an audible pleural space pop, & its consumables are cost-effective. Read more limbsandthings.com/global/product…

Why don't we use smaller gauge IVs for #NeedleDecompression in PTX? They often aren't long enough for many pts! Avg CWT is 4.3 cm @ the 2nd ICS. #TraumaEducation #MetrolinaTrauma #EmergencyMedicine #EMS #Prehospital #Paramedic #HEMS #Paramedic #SoMe4Trauma #TraumaCenter #FOAMed

The #tensionpneumothorax is a rare but life-threatening event that requires immediate treatment!🔪👈💉 If possible, perform #fingerthoracostomy instead of #needledecompression... It has a lower failure rate... #sbbites #surgicalpizza 🍕 #ACS #trauma #MedEd #MedTwitter #educationhG6s

Everyday is a great day to learn new and/or brush up on #EMS skills. Paramedic Benjamin Stevens is teaching EMT Belle Dinning #NeedleDecompression on one of our #training mannequins. This procedure is used for a tension #Pneumothorax (#CollapsedLung) caused by traumatic injuries.
