Not a medical professional but the CPAP route sounds more promising to me. Simpler, less risk.

What about just oxygen bottles or oxygen enrichment? They have their own dangers though.

I would imagine in a situation where you need ersatz CPAP, bottled oxygen is harder to come by and/or less affordable.

PSA oxygen generators are simple to construct and provide continuous oxygen as long as you power them.
