The tricky part isn't the mechanics of it, it's regulating the composition of air you're delivering and also making sure that air remains as clean as possible. Hypothetically, you could just plug a set of bellows into a breathing tube, shove that down your throat, and use that as a ventilator, but you'd risk mold growth and dust accumulation in the air you're pumping in there, and you'd be limited to the 20-22% oxygen found in regular air. Shove a filter in the intake and run the breathing tube through a strong UV light, and maybe you'd be getting somewhere.

I would assume it requires fairly precise control over how much air you are pushing into someone's lungs.
