The LUCAS device has improved the quality of chest compressions, able to sustain life-saving circulation during prolonged resuscitation attempts during life-saving interventions.

How does this work on a patient with large breast?

[@user-vt2tx3og9p]

Many patients are too large to fit, in which case we just have to revert to regular CPR

[@ASAPJoshy]

If you have a cardiac arrest you’re too fat or old a large majority of the time

[@user-vt2tx3og9p]

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

[@FakeGoogleHome]

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@@user-vt2tx3og9p
