Basics

Needs better name?
Heavily paraphrased + early writing, double check everything, wait for more info to be added etc
Simple bag squeezing mechanisms are only usable under heavy sedation due to the fact breathing is sort of forced, and thus if the person tries to breathe, they are not "in sync"
- Word for this is "forced breath"
- Barotrauma can occur when the diaphram pushes simutaniously with the air pump pushing
may work as a sort of immediate help, but main issue is the long term care causing backlog?

A Video by "Real Engineering" on this
BVM (bag valve mask) is the bag method
Barotrauma due to long term/improper mechanical ventilation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barotrauma#Ventilator-induced_barotrauma

Problems that occur with mechanical ventilation

Positive End Experitory Pressure "Peep"
Varying pressure + flow
Predicting/Measuring in real time when the patient is attempting to breathe, and syncing the pump to that
Mit 2010 BVM Design, with sensors to make it more measurable still not perfect
Lots of easily usable io + lots of degrees/infinite variability
Pressure, Volume, Oxygen Percentage are main variables, is humidity?
Agva Healthcare Device liscencing design, open source?

a way of measuring and controlling the volume pumped and the breath rate to avoid volutrauma
monitoring for inspiratory pressure, respiratory rate (bpm), and inspiratory-to-expiratory time (I/E) ratio
for non-sedated patients, an "assist" mode that, instead of forcing air in at a fixed frequency, only increases the pressure when the patient inhales;
for ARDS, support for setting positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to avoid alveoli collapse;[6][7]
humidification to avoid drying and cooling the alveoli
