EMS Professionals Choose the LUCAS from Physio-Control™
The LUCAS Chest Compression System™ is an external device that provides chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The rescuer attaches LUCAS to the patient and then turns it on so the device can take over to provide chest compressions for the resuscitation effort. Both EMS and hospital professionals choose LUCAS because it provides hands-free effective, consistent, and uninterrupted compressions. The LUCAS also provides good circulation during patient transport, and enhances safety during transport for both EMS personnel and the patient.
