Our goal is to modify a disposable manual ventilator (AMBU bag) to allow hands-free operation. This could be operated by foot or legs with the user in a sitting position. Traditionally, AMBU bags operate as an inflatable bag by hand, but as a flight physician, our client Dr. Abernethy needs full use of his hands in a limited space.
Team Members(L-R): Jimmy Fong, Peter Ma, Richard "Joe" Long, Matt Valaskey
