Manual chest compressions versus lucas 2 a comparative study of end tidal carbon dioxide levels during in hospital resuscitation.
Lucas 3 1 is lightweight portable easy to use and will deliver guidelines consistent chest compressions at a rate of 100 compressions per minute at a depth of at least 2 inches.
It will also allow for complete chest wall recoil after each compression.
The lucas chest compression system is designed to deliver uninterrupted compressions at a consistent rate and depth to facilitate rosc return of spontaneous.
Although other cpr devices provide consistent compression depth and rate the lucas device because of its integrated suction cup is the only automated device that assists the decompression phase by drawing up on the chest and returning it to neutral.
