CPR Device Saves Life
The Lucas CPR Device is getting around. A Texas fire department has equipped all their ambulances with the life-saving tool.
The independent chest compressing device frees up medics to perform other life-saving responsibilities.
And the CPR device has proven itself in valuable. A man received Lucas compressions for nearly three hours, until he was able to reach a hospital, where doctor’s removed a blood clot. His heart began pumping on its’ own.
Perhaps all fire departments should look into the Lucas CPR Device. It sounds like a great tool, however, knowing CPR is still the best thing you can do to help save a life.
