LUCAS 3 version 3.1 In-Hospital Brochure_English_3336899_A_LR (002)

The LUCAS Chest Compression system
delivers Guideline-consistent, high-quality
chest compressions which allows you and
your team to work more efficiently and safely.
Transport
Some cardiac arrest patients will not respond
to CPR and defibrillation alone. LUCAS allows
for life-saving interventions (such as PCI
and ECMO/ECPR) by providing consistent
compressions on the way to and during these
advanced life-saving therapies.
Safety
High-quality CPR is a physically demanding
job. Caregivers should be able to deliver quality
care while providing additional safety and less
of a chance of injury on the job. The LUCAS
device reduces the radiation burden to CPR
providers when being used in the Cath Lab while
also maintaining Guideline-consistent chest
compressions.
Quality of CPR
Delivery of high-quality CPR is vital for patient
outcomes. When providing CPR on a patient
laying on a hospital bed, the mattress receives
a large share of the compression instead of
the patient. This results in too shallow, less
effective manual compressions. 1 With its support
structure and back plate, LUCAS overcomes the
“Mattress Effect” and provides high-quality CPR
whatever the surface.
