What Is the LUCAS 3 Chest Compression System?

The LUCAS 3 Chest Compression System, also commonly searched as the LUCAS 3 mechanical CPR device, LUCAS CPR machine, or Stryker LUCAS 3, is designed to provide automated chest compressions during resuscitation.

Mechanical chest compression allows consistent compressions to continue while emergency personnel concentrate on other critical aspects of patient care. The system is designed for use in demanding emergency-care environments, including prehospital EMS, ambulance transport, emergency departments, and other advanced resuscitation settings.

Why Fire and EMS Departments Use the LUCAS 3

Providing high-quality manual CPR can be physically demanding, particularly during prolonged resuscitations and patient transport. The LUCAS 3 provides mechanically controlled chest compressions without the fatigue associated with prolonged manual compressions.

For Fire and EMS agencies, this can allow personnel to remain focused on airway management, defibrillation, medication administration, patient movement, communication, and other tasks required during a cardiac-arrest response.

Mechanical CPR can also be particularly valuable during ambulance transport, where providing continuous manual chest compressions can be challenging for the crew.

LUCAS 3 Compression Specifications

The factory-default LUCAS 3 compression rate is 102 ± 2 compressions per minute. For a nominal patient, the factory-default compression depth is approximately 2.1 inches (53 mm).

The system supports both continuous compression and 30:2 compression modes. Certain LUCAS 3 configurations can also be configured for different compression rates, depths, ventilation alerts, and other protocol-related settings.
