Provided is a portable ventilator
system, including a ventilator supply
system having a ventilator
mask, an air /
oxygen source and an air /
oxygen regulator system, and including a communications device that, during use, automatically contacts an
emergency response entity in response to activation of the portable ventilator system. Also provided is a ventilator system that includes at least one ventilator
mask sized to fit upon a selected range of sizes of human faces, a ventilator supply system having an air /
oxygen source and an air / oxygen
regulator system, and an air / oxygen flow regulation valve having an inlet, an inlet / outlet in communication with a ventilator
mask coupled to the ventilator supply system, and an outlet in communication with a surrounding
atmosphere. During use, air / oxygen flows through the inlet and the inlet / outlet to facilitate ventilation of a human, and air / oxygen flows through the inlet / outlet and the outlet to facilitate
exhalation by a human to the surrounding
atmosphere. Further, during use, one of the ventilator masks is coupled to the ventilator supply system to provide air / oxygen to a human, and the air / oxygen
regulator system regulates air / oxygen flow parameters as a function of a size of the ventilator mask coupled to the ventilator supply system.
