Claim 0:
1. A device for assisting a caregiver in delivering manual ventilation treatment to a patient during a medical emergency, the device comprising:
at least two sensors, at least one of which is a pressure sensor configured to provide signals containing information indicative of the manual ventilation treatment delivered during the medical emergency;
a first pressure sensing port positioned along a patient airway and in communication with the pressure sensor;
a second pressure sensing port positioned along the patient airway and in communication with the pressure sensor;
an adapter configured to be positioned in a vicinity of the patient's mouth comprising a flow restrictor positioned in between the first pressure sensing port and the second pressure sensing port in a portion of the patient airway;
a processor configured to
process the signals from the at least two sensors to determine parameters descriptive of a ventilation progress, and
provide ventilation feedback based on the parameters, wherein the ventilation feedback is indicative of both ventilation rate and ventilation tidal volume; and

a user interface in communication with the processor and configured to deliver the ventilation feedback to the caregiver to assist the caregiver to manually vary at least one of the ventilation rate and the ventilation tidal volume to improve the manual ventilation treatment to the patient.
