Huh. According to the article that you linked to about the coat hanger, brandy, and rubber tube: 'The aircraft's medical kit is "quite well-equipped for having babies and people who develop urinary blockages..."'. In fact, it sounds like the tube they used to drain the lung was a catheter intended for urinary blockage. I wonder why they couldn't use such a catheter for this guy; did that kit not have one?

Generally speaking, this is done with an ultrasound, but in a pinch, you could likely just palpate the bladder.
