They're just a mechanical bellows aren't they.
I'd turn the handle for while for my wife if she couldn't do it.
You could use a CPAP (sleep apnea machine). The only reason why hospitals don't is of course it's not a sealed system, air is vented out freely so the person using one can infect others.
But if you're dying from covid19 at home and the hospitals are full anyway feel free to use one.


E: I bet everywhere is sold out of them or the price for them has doubled recently!
