CPR GOES HIGH-TECH
If you have ever had to administer chest compression to an adult for any length of time, you know it can become tiring. Maintaing consistent, quality pumps isn’t as easy as it looks.
Victims of cardiac arrest have much greater odds of survival without brain damage if blood can continue to pump through their body and brain. Our brains need oxygen to function properly, and after several minutes without oxygen, damage begins.
With these issues in mind, the LUCAS company created a machine that standardizes chest compressions to meet scientific guidelines. The LUCAS machine eliminates rescuer fatigue, inexperience, or inability.
