Comment on OxyGEN: Open-Source AMBU Respiratorparent

Comments

It's a physical limitation of the bag style ventilation, it's not something you could design around by squeezing the bag differently.

For instance, the amount of "back pressure" during exhalation is important when managing ARDS patients. The ambu-bag can only exert pressure when it is being actively squeezed, and you can only squeeze it so far.
