Implementation of the LUCAS device, a team-focused strategy and video-reviewed CPR intervention for cardiac arrest patients significantly improved return of spontaneous circulation rates, going from 26% to 41%, in the ED.

Audible CPR timer: 1-15 minutes (in 1 min. increments) Adjustable depth: 1.8 and 2.1 ± 0.1 inches / 45 to 53 ± 2mm (fixed during operation) Auto-lowering of piston (AutoFit or QuickFit)

Delivery of high-quality CPR is vital for patient outcomes. The LUCAS device delivers safe and effective chest compressions with Guidelines-consistent depth of 5.3 cm / 2.1 inches and rate of 102 per minute*

LUCAS has enabled patients being saved that would otherwise have been considered futile, extending the reach of care by allowing for prolonged CPR, transportation to ECMO and coronary intervention (PCI) during LUCAS CPR.

"CPR is inherently inefficient; it provides only 10% to 30% of normal blood flow to the heart and 30% to 40% of normal blood flow to the brain even when delivered according to guidelines.This inefficiency highlights the need or trained rescuers to deliver the highest-quality CPR possible.

guidelines for CPR when using LUCAS. 2.4 Side effects The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) states these side effects of CPR2: "Rib fractures and other injuries are common but acceptable consequences of CPR given the alternative of death from cardiac arrest. After resuscitation, all patients should be

Most radiological projection angles can be used during LUCAS CPR. DOWNLOAD. LUCAS in the Cath Lab US version - for Intl. English version, see Resources

LUCAS is the only mechanical CPR device, sold in the North America, with a carbon fiber backplate intended specifically for cath lab use. Preemptively placing the LUCAS PCI Back Plate (without upper part attached) allows for full visualization of arterial tree from all angles and for a rapid deployment of LUCAS if needed.
