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.

How does negative pressure work in a chest tube?
Negative pressure in a chest tube creates suction that helps remove air or fluids from the pleural space. This allows the lung to re-expand and prevents conditions like pneumothorax or pleural effusion from developing. The negative pressure helps the chest tube drain effectively and promotes proper lung function.

Why does one collapsed lung not affect the other lung?
both the lungs are not intertwined like other organs. Tey both work in unison, yes, but theink of them like kidney. When one fails, you have the other. You have to lungs that both pump air in your blood. So when one fails, you still have the other, like kidneys. But when you are old you need to have strong lungs because as you age the lungs get weaker.
