Treatment and study plan

LUCAS™ 2 Chest Compression System

Device

LUCAS is a portable device designed to rule out the problems encountered during manual chest compression, capable of performing standard and continuous chest compressions at a depth of 4-5 cm and at least 100 times per minute.

Manuel chest compressions by human efforts

Other

In this way chest compressions will be handled by humans themselves.

    Time frame: 30 days

    Mortality from the admission to the 30th day

  2. Rate of the return of spontaneous circulation

    Time frame: 5 minutes

    Return of spontaneous circulation at least 5 minutes
