I am unaware of any data indicating a survival benefit or a decreased  
complication rate from trauma because of prehospital needle crics, or needle  chest 
decompression or even tube decompression in the field.   It is  not for me to 
prove a negative.   It is the responsibility for those  who propose a useless 
and unproven (but popular intervention) to provide data  for its use, if they 
plan to use that modality.
