Could chest compression force enough air in and out to accomplish the same thing as ventilating? (I believe relatives and friends would be more than happy to keep non-stop chest compressions if it was a viable alternative to venting :)) And what about the old "iron lungs" they used for polio patients?

An EMS crew can perform compressions for only a limited time before being exhausted.
Lucas device can be used but could have limited duration.
