<prompt> Treatment of choice for Tension pneumothroax isImmediate IC tube drainageContinuous aspiration by needleIntermittent aspiration by needleThoractomy with repair of leakage  <response>: 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 inseed into the pleural space through the second anterior intercostal space. If large amounts of gas escape from the needle after inseion, the diagnosis is confirmed. The needle should be left in place until a thoracostomy tube can be inseed. Ref : Harrison 17e p1660; Bailey Love 25e p879
