A lung injury monitoring system (200) configured to monitor a patient's lungs during ventilation, comprising: an ultrasound device (280) configured to obtain an ultrasound image of the patient's lungs during ventilation of the patient; a processor (220) configured to: (i) receive the obtained ultrasound image; (ii) determine a ventilation phase of the ventilator; (iii) analyze the received ultrasound image; and (iv) determine a risk score for a potential ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI); and a user interface (240) configured to display the determined risk score for the potential VALI.

The present disclosure relates to systems, apparatuses, and methods for assembling cartridges for aerosol delivery devices. A system may include assembly cells each including an assembly track and assembly carriages that ride thereon and which engage components of partially-assembled cartridges. A transfer apparatus may transfer partially-assembled cartridges between the assembly cells. In another example system, cartridges may be assembled on platforms on a rotary track. The platforms may include assembly grippers with sequentially-opening clamps configured to receive the components of the partially-assembled cartridges. Related methods are also provided.
