How do chest tubes work to fix a collapsed lung?
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.

Can chest tube Clogging lead to infection?
Chest tube clogging can lead to infection. The chest tube is there to remove fluid from around the lung. If the tube becomes clogged, the fluid builds up around the lung. This fluid can become infected, which is called an empyema. An empyema can require a major operation to remove the thick and infected material from around the lung. Chest tube are more frequently being left in for home care and the patient discharged from home. If the tube stops draining, it either means there is no more fluid to drain, or the tube is clogged. If the tube is clogged and the fluid accumulates, this is a set up for an infection related to a clogged tube.
