The LUCAS device is an easy-to-use mechanical chest compression device that helps lifesaving teams around the world deliver high-quality, guidelines-consistent chest compressions to sudden cardiac arrest patients; in the field, on the move and in the hospital.

Nov 3, 2020 · Mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (mCPR) devices are automated devices that provide chest compression during cardiac arrest, without the need for human-performed manual compression.

Mechanical CPR devices provide automated chest compressions during cardiac arrest. Learn why hospitals and EMS are increasingly using these devices to treat patients.

Deliver high-performance, continuous chest compressions with less strain, micromanagement and caregiver risk. The LUCAS device extends the reach of care by maintaining chest compressions during transport to advanced lifesaving therapies, including ECMO or PCI in the cath lab.

Nov 12, 2019 · In order to reduce provider’s physical and mental fatigue and to simplify management of CPR, mechanical compression devices (mCPR) seem like an ideal solution for providing high quality...

Despite the allure of consistent compressions and reduced provider fatigue, does the data actually show that mechanical CPR devices improve outcomes? Tune in for a nuanced exploration of evidence-based practice in emergency medical services.

Automated chest compression systems, also known as mechanical CPR devices or CPR machines, are designed to deliver consistent, uninterrupted, and high-quality chest compressions to patients in cardiac arrest.

Mechanical CPR devices provide an automated way to deliver high-quality CPR. However, large randomised controlled trials of the routine use of mechanical devices in the out-of-hospital setting have found no evidence of improved patient outcome in patients treated with mechanical CPR, compared with manual CPR.

May 29, 2018 · In cardiac arrest, high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a key determinant of patient survival. However, delivery of effective chest compressions is often inconsistent, subject to fatigue and practically challenging.Mechanical CPR devices provide an automated way to deliver high-qualit …

Nov 22, 2023 · There are two main types of mCPR devices available: the automated piston device (i.e. Stryker Physio-Control LUCAS) and load-distributing band devices (i.e. Zoll AutoPulse). These devices are commonly used for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) by EMS personnel, and are increasingly being used in Emergency Departments as well.
