great idea to repurpose brushless motor as ventilator. You could get more modes from the motor if you measure the current and voltage to give regulate and measure pressure (current) and volume which will be proportional to the motor velocity (voltage). you could probably actually actuate the assist based on the change in airway pressure as when the patient is taking a breath ad supply assist pressure as well as a constant low level of pressure to keep the alveoli inflated.
