The Lucas 2 Chest Compression System is an automated CPR device that provides continuous uninterrupted chest compressions at a consistent rate and depth. It performs chest compressions at a rate of 100 compressions per minute and a depth of 1.5-2". While the Lucas 1 system ran off of pneumatic air, the Lucas 2 operates on rechargeable lithium ion batteries. The battery allows the Lucas to run for 45 minutes on a single charge. The Lucas has two modes: continuous chest compressions and 30:2, where it provides 30 compressions, then pauses for two seconds to allow patients, without a secured airway, to be ventilated. It also has a pause button to temporarily stop the device to allow pulse check/rhythm check to occur. The Lucas can be providing chest compressions while the patient is defibrillated. The Lucas fully encompasses the patients chest with the compression device and a mini backboard. The patients wrists can be strapped to the device to prevent the pt's unsecured arms from getting injured or in the way.
