Yeah but the idea of the autopulse is to factor recovery time, which the lucas doesn't. Plus some of the newer autopulse devices also have a built in stretcher, regardless the lucas is also a good device@@JakeDavis-t4w
@@JakeDavis-t4w poppycock. I'm a doctor in emergency medicine in the United Kingdom, (MBChB, FRCEM, PHEMCC) and I spend my off days working on the air ambulance and physician response unit. The LUCAS device is NOT restricted by weight it is restricted by chest width. So whoever has given you this information is factually wrong. You can even check the manufacturers website and see that it is not restricted by weight but as I have already mentioned, chest width😂.
The machine moving around like that is going to break ribs
This is why we have the neck stabilizer, and the arm straps. -NREMT
Break ribs, no that’s inevitable to be honest. The straps prevent the device from slipping too low and pumping the stomach
How does this work on a patient with large breast?
Many patients are too large to fit, in which case we just have to revert to regular CPR
If you have a cardiac arrest you’re too fat or old a large majority of the time
There’s also something called the auto pulse Which can fit larger patients but it’s an entirely different brand and Lucas is much more prominent
