Answers
When a person has a penetrating injury to the lung, assuming it doesn't injure the heart or a major blood vessel, the lung may collapse.
When you breathe, the outside air pushes into your windpipe (trachea) into your lungs. When there is a hole in the chest wall, the outside air can come in through that hole. The air gathers around the lung and collapses it. With a large amount of air around the outside of the lung, it can't expand. This is called a pneumothorax. If the area around the lung fills with blood, the same thing happens, the lung collapses, known as a hemothorax. A combination of the two is called a pneumo-hemothorax.

A gun shot into the chest !
It could kill you in seconds or minutes.
But if you are lucky enough, you could survive !
There are several ways in which a patient could die if the bullet was still in the lungs.
- It could cause internal bleeding in the lungs, and the person can actually drown in his own blood, as the lungs are places where respiration, one of the most important metabolic activities take place.
A punctured lung simply means a condition in which the lungs are unable to expand due to the air that is collected in the spaces.
This condition is known as Pneumothorax.
- A small pneumothorax can be healed on its own.
A thing to remember, is that the bullet is already taken out from the lung.
The most common way of healing the lung if its punctured, is to insert a syringe which would be able to extract the excess of air in the lungs.
The insertion of needles into the body for curing various ailments is termed as acupuncture and is sometimes used for punctured lungs but also has possible negative effects.
