laryngectomy
- collapse of a lung causes severe shortness of breath, sudden sharp chest pains, falling blood pressure, rapid weak pulse, and shallow and weak respirations.
- treatment: patient is more comfortable in a Fowler or semi-Fowler position and may require oxygen.
- thoracostomy is performed to withdraw air from the cavity

- tissue biopsy for cancer detection of lungs.
- remove obstruction (tissue or other), or observe directly for pathological changes.

- common lung function test
- measures capacity of the lungs and the volume of air during inhalation and expiration
spirometry
- removes fluid from pleural space for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes
thoracentesis
- opening into trachea with placement of indwelling tube
- allows air to flow into lungs
- aids in the removal of secretions (mucus) from bronchial tubes
