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

Eh, as long as you limit the bellows to blowing ~1L of air (average tidal volume for a healthy adult is half that, but there's quite a bit of extra inflation room beyond that), you're probably fine. Heck, if you make the person pump it themselves to save on manpower costs, you don't even need that, since they can just stop blowing when they feel full enough. It's fiiiiiiine*.

*Disclaimer: it's not actually fine please never do this and if you do I'm not responsible for what happens
