why? there is a very delicate balance of pressures in are lung, the plueral sac, and in our thoracic cavity that must be maintained. if the balance is offset then our lungs simply wont function properly. im not exactly sure what a doctor does when they insert a tube into the chest to re inflate the lung, but im certain that it is to restore the pressures of the different cavities in the chest
