I've never used the kit, but the premise is similar to most other pleural space catheter kits.

I'd be careful preemptively sticking one in a GSW that has no Sx- if he's not got a pneumothorax, you might stick that needle into the lung. You'll get a nice air return, and then you'll confidently stick that catheter right into lung tissue. Oops.
