    The pleural cavity is composed of the pleural wall layer and the visceral layer, which is a closed potential cavity without air. The pleura is damaged for any reason, and air enters the pleural cavity, called pneumothorax. Liquid-air chest refers to the accumulation of blood or tissue fluid in the chest cavity. At this time, the pressure in the pleural cavity increases, and even the negative pressure becomes positive pressure, which causes the lungs to compress and the venous return to the heart and blood flow is blocked, resulting in different degrees of lung and heart dysfunction.
