I am not in the medical field. But if a lung collapses it means that there is air getting between the lung and the chest cavity creating pressure against the lung. A tube placed in the chest wall will relieve the pressure there. When the lung fills with air it pushes the air out of the tube. Then you can block the tube to give the chest cavity back the slight vacuum it had before. That is why your chest expands when you breate in. I hope this is right and I am not stepping on any toes out there.

What are different kinds of lung disease?
Lung disease is any disease or disorder that occurs in the lungs or that causes the lungs to not work properly. There are three main types of lung disease:Airway diseases -- These diseases affect the tubes (airways) that carry oxygen and other gases into and out of the lungs. These diseases usually cause a narrowing or blockage of the airways. They include asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. People with airway diseases sometimes describe the feeling as "trying to breathe out through a straw."Lung tissue diseases -- These diseases affect the structure of the lung tissue. Scarring or inflammation of the tissue makes the lungs unable to expand fully ("restrictive lung disease"). Theis makes it hard for the lungs to breathe in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis are examples of lung tissue diseases. People sometimes describe the feeling as "wearing a too-tight sweater or vest" that won't allow them to take a deep breath.Lung circulation diseases -- These diseases affect the blood vessels in the lungs. They are caused by clotting, scarring, or inflammation of the blood vessels. They affect the ability of the lungs to take up oxygen and to release carbon dioxide. These diseases may also affect heart function.Many lung diseases involve a combination of these three types.The most common lung diseases include:AsthmaAtelectasisBronchitisCOPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)EmphysemaLung cancerPneumoniaPulmonary edemaOther lung diseases include:AsbestosisAspergillomaAspergillosisAspergillosis - acute invasiveBronchiectasisBronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP)Eosinophilic pneumoniaMetastatic lung cancerNecrotizing pneumoniaPleural effusionPneumoconiosisPneumonia in immunodeficient patientPneumothoraxPulmonary actinomycosisPulmonary alveolar proteinosisPulmonary anthraxPulmonary arteriovenous malformationPulmonary fibrosisPulmonary embolusPulmonary histiocytosis X (eosinophilic granuloma)Pulmonary hypertensionPulmonary nocardiosisPulmonary tuberculosisPulmonary veno-occlusive diseaseRheumatoid lung diseaseSarcoidosisPulmonary mass - side view chest X-rayLung mass, right upper lobe - CT scanLung mass, right lung - CT scanLung mass, right upper lung - chest X-rayLung nodule - front view chest X-rayLung nodule, right lower lung - CT scanLung with squamous cell cancer - CT scanSecondhand Smoke and Lung CancerYellow nail syndromeRespiratory system
