La ubicación para la descompresión con aguja en un K9 es el espacio intercostal 7º - 9º. Tienen 13 costillas (las personas tienen 12). La descompresión con aguja en un ser humano desde un abordaje lateral es la línea axilar media o anterior del espacio intercostal 4º-5º. Los K9 tienen más probabilidades de tener neumotórax a tensión bilateral. VERIFIQUE: una ubicación aproximada es colocar la punta de un dedo en el borde de la escápula, la punta de un dedo en la última costilla, y donde se juntan los pulgares es aproximadamente el lugar correcto.

Debido al mediastino incompleto o fenestrado en K9, el neumotórax a tensión en un lado con frecuencia se vuelve bilateral. Cuando realice la descompresión con aguja en un K9, considere seriamente la descompresión bilateral si no obtiene la mejora que esperaba.

Location for needle decompression on a K9 is the 7th - 9th intercostal space.They have 13 ribs (people have 12). Needle decompression on a human from a lateral approach is the 4th-5th intercostal space mid or anterior axillary line. K9s are more likely to get bilateral tension pneumothorax. VERIFY: one ballpark location is to put a fingertip on the edge of the scapula, a fingertip on the last rib, and where your thumbs meet is about the right location. 

Because of the incomplete, or fenestrated mediastinum in K9s, tension pneumothorax on one side frequently becomes bilateral. When performing needle decompression on a K9, highly consider bilateral decompression if you are not getting the improvement you were hoping for.
