Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to emergency ventilators. An emergency ventilator may determine one or more adjustable parameters associated with controlling a ventilator device to supply air to a user, wherein the one or more adjustable parameters are determined based at least in part on breathing thresholds associated with the user. The emergency ventilator may evaluate the adjustable parameters to generate a control signal. The emergency ventilator may cause one or more paddles to articulate based at least in part on the control signal, wherein the one or more paddles squeeze a bag valve mask (BVM) attached to the ventilator device. The emergency ventilator may generate one or more outputs associated with a condition of the ventilator device. The emergency ventilator may display, on a display device, the one or more outputs.
