Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Snow, My son Devon is on a Ventilator. We have done HBO at Dr. Neubauer's, in Florida, Dr. Steenblock, in Mission Viejo, California, The Whitaker Clinic in Newport Beach, California. We, because he is paralyzed, must go in the chamber with him to ambu bag him. I suspect that the woman your talking of may be able to ambu bag herself? Sincerely, Caouette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
