Huh.  I would have thought a simple ball with two tethers would work
better.  Just put the ball over the chest, get behind the victim and
pull on the tethers.  Lacking that, just make sure there's at least
one passageway of appropriate diameter (or that can be shimmed
down to the appropriate diameter) to brace both parties.

Perhaps I'm merely misunderstanding the "pulmonary" part.
But that'd be forced air to the mouth, right?  So we're just
talking about the "cardio" part, right?
