    Realistically, an IV catheter is almost never going to be long enough. You need at minimum a 2 1/4" long catheter. The content/instruction/slides are good though. Can an updated one be made with a proper chest decompression needle?

    Just don’t angle it towards the heart. If it’s properly positioned, it should be fine to go down at a 90 degree angle

    90 degrees is correct. It should go straight down and never on the side where it might come in contact with tissues or organs you don't want to pierce. That doesn't mean their aren't exceptions and you could even place it in a different intercostal space, but for that you would need to have the training of a MD, PA, NP or RN that work in ED. Since you can really damage or kill a person. Finish HS and go learn some more, you're asking the right questions for someone in HS but you need a little more experience and education before you learn more advanced techniques.

    @@kmmedic8030 I am familiar the scope of practice paramedics have, since I did a paramedic program in high school many years ago. But I would put that kind of training as a rough, dirty and straight to basics, what you need to know training. I believe my medical training I got in the Marines was a bit more specialized to trauma and gunshot wounds. Far more advanced then my training as a paramedic in those categories. When I was a RN in ED you are allowed to do this procedure, that doesn't mean every nurse did it or wanted to, but hey lazy nurses are everywhere. In other departments they are not allowed because they don't get as much experience as ER nurses so any good hospital that goes by evidence based practices avoids the unnecessary risk. Now as a MD, I can tell you that you wouldn't ever put a dermatologist to do ER work when they haven't work that sector in 5-10 years for the same reason you don't let an ICU nurse do a procedure that is a lot more common in ED but almost unheard of in the ICU, relatively speaking.
