So isn't a less than perfect machine to replace him helpful in a world where there are no commercial ventilators?

this is a confused question. Replacing the guy pumping the bag with a motor pumping the bag = nice, esp. if it keeps his arm from getting tired when help is slow to come. But it doesn't at *all* replace the "real ventilator" that requires intubation, that's a different machine.
