Abstrakt:	A patent has been issued for a portable needle assembly with an adjustable length needle. The invention is designed to treat tension pneumothorax, a life-threatening condition caused by air or blood building up in the chest cavity. The needle assembly allows for customization of the needle length based on the size of the patient, improving the effectiveness of the procedure. The existing needle decompression kits used in the military and emergency medical services have a high failure rate and can cause additional trauma to patients. The new needle assembly aims to provide a reliable and portable solution for treating patients of different sizes. [Extracted from the article]
