What is the procedural name when a tube is placed in a collapsed lung?
Chest tube thoracostomy is done to drain fluid, blood, or air from the space around the lungs. Some diseases, such as pneumonia and cancer, can cause an excess amount of fluid or blood to build up in the space around the lungs (called a pleural effusion). Also, some severe injuries of the chest wall can cause bleeding around the lungs. Sometimes, the lung can be accidentally punctured allowing air to gather outside the lung, causing its collapse (called a pneumothorax). Chest tube thoracostomy (commonly referred to as "putting in a chest tube") involves placing a hollow plastic tube between the ribs and into the chest to drain fluid or air from around the lungs. The tube is often hooked up to a suction machine to help with drainage. The tube remains in the chest until all or most of the air or fluid has drained out, usually a few days. Occasionally special medicines are given through a chest tube.

Why do you breathe out cold air when is cold?
Breathing out cold air when it's cold outside is due to the warm air inside your body meeting the cold air outside, causing the moisture in your breath to condense and become visible. The same phenomenon occurs when warm, moist air is exhaled in colder temperatures, making it look like you are breathing out "cold air."
How much air does a normal man breathe in one minute?
A normal adult man at rest typically breathes in about 6 to 10 liters of air per minute. This can vary based on factors such as activity level, age, and health. During physical exertion, the volume can increase significantly as the body requires more oxygen. The average breathing rate for adults is about 12 to 20 breaths per minute.
