If you are truly a "couple of hours" out from definitive medical care, then you had better be able to put in a chest tube.

I have lost count of the number of angiocaths EMS has used to "needle" the chest, and then a subsequent CT scan proves they were never within a centimeter of the pleural cavity.... And every time I am solemly assured they got a rush of air...
