"A common problem during manual CPR is that the chest does not always recoil because of an increase in chest wall compliance (softens). 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."
The man was already dead before he could get the tools ready.
I had a cardiac arrest 6 years ago for 40 minutes and was given CPR by the Lucas as well.
really?what was the reason?
@ketamin61 I had a pulmonary embolism and my heart was blocked by a blood clot
Just wondering what would happen if used on a high blood pressure patient?
Hi there, this device would only be used on someone with no pulse, so if there isn't a pulse there is no blood pressure. Hope that helps! :)
I'm pretty sure they're just training guys. Not demonstrating.
Is Lucas an ACD-CPR device? Thanks
Mechanical chest compression device. U need to bag separately. Not an AED either.
@@johnnyhorizon8368 Thanks, but does it perform ACD-CPR (Active Compression/Decompression CPR)? Or it performs only traditional mechanical CPR?
@@enrirugb I’ve never used it nor am I a salesperson for the LUCAS device but I would think it just replaced manual compressions.
@@johnnyhorizon8368 Thanks!

That's a "D" at best. Not impressed.
