The best treatment of tension pneumothorax is -
Tension pneumothorax must be treated as a medical emergency. If the tension in the pleural space is not relieved, the patient is likely to die from the inadequate cardiac output or marked hypoxemia.
A large-bore needle should be inserted into the pleural space through the second anterior intercostal space.
If large amounts of gas escape from the needle after insertion, the diagnosis is confirmed. The needle should be left in place until a thoracostomy tube can be inserted.
