Remind me again please

When do you use a needle decompression and when do you use a chest tube? Memory says that they are both used to releave air trapped in the chest cavity between the lungs and the ribs. So it seems to me that the chest tube can remove air faster then the needle. I am sure I am missing something, just don't know what or I am just completely wrong.

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land, and air with all our might and all our strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, What is our aim? I answer in one word: Victory Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Winston Churchill
