Many times, collapse lung from various conditions as infection, trauma or other issues need long-term ICD insertion till the complete alveoli functioning return back to normal.
Sequential evaluation with x-ray depicting lung expansion is the best predictor for future outcome.
If there was any discharge from the tube which was suspicious and the culture report was carried out for the same, then antibiotics in accordance to that are the best way to curative pathway.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
