Background: Mechanical ventilation is a critical but resource-intensive treatment. Automated tools are common in screening diagnostics, whereas real-time, continuous trend analysis in mechanical ventilation remains rare.

Background/aim: Lung transplantation is the treatment of last resort for many chronic lung diseases. Airway complications (AC) following lung transplantation, such as bronchial stenosis, dehiscence, malacia, and fistula, account for frequent hospital admissions, additional treatment costs, decreased quality of life, and reduced survival rates. Beyond surgical and medical preventive efforts, interventional bronchoscopy (IB) can be used in the management of these complications.
