What can cause a Collapsed lung?

Why is your lung collapsed when you get a knife wound to left side of thorax?
A knife wound to the left side of the thorax can cause a collapsed lung, also known as a pneumothorax, because air leaks into the space between the lung and the chest wall, preventing the lung from fully expanding. This can lead to decreased oxygen intake and difficulty breathing. Immediate medical attention is crucial to address this condition.

What may cause a restrictive pattern?
A restrictive pattern on pulmonary function tests can be caused by conditions such as interstitial lung diseases, sarcoidosis, obesity, or neuromuscular disorders. These conditions often lead to reduced lung volume and decreased lung compliance, resulting in a restrictive pattern characterized by decreased lung volumes and preserved airflow.
Why the patient of pleural effusion should lie towards the side of the lung which is having pleural effusion?
Positioning the patient with pleural effusion on the affected side helps improve ventilation and blood flow to the more functional lung, aiding in better oxygenation. This position can also help re-expand the collapsed lung and promote drainage of the pleural effusion.
