[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP question makes no sense - how do you forcibly ventilate someone who is not intubated or trached? You looking to bring back iron lungs from polio days? What do you do with the saliva and emesis (vomit),  let it roll into the lungs to cause further damage? How do you create a seal between the trachea and the vent? Have to intubate or trach somebody to put on a control type ventilator, only way to maintain airway when someone cannot breath themselves. And vents are not just ambu bags being pumped as shown in the $100 self made ones- have to determine and set cc’s of air to be pumped each breath, respiratory rate, assist or control settings, sigh frequency, pressure alarm levels, positive end expiratory pressure settings, O2 saturation ranges among other settings. Maybe let the med professionals handle critical care - this is far more complicated than home made solutions. [/quote]
