A cannula needle is a stainless steel, hollow needle encased by a hollow plastic tube. The needle closely resembles a medical syringe tip, except that the needle isn't always attached to a plastic barrel for extracting fluids or tissue.
A cannula, or hollow needle, is carefully introduced into the thorax, generally after administration of local anesthesia. The procedure was first described in 1852. The recommended location varies depending upon the source. Some sources recommend the midaxillary line, in the eighth, ninth, or tenth intercostal space.
