LUCAS

CHEST COMPRESSION SYSTEM, INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

3.6 DEFIBRILLATION

WARNING – INCORRECT ECG ANALYSIS

Compressions interfere with ECG analysis.

Switch off LUCAS before ECG analysis. Make the

interruption as short as possible

WARNING – INADEQUATE COMPRESSION

Patient’s movements may change adjustment of

suction cup.

Verify position of suction cup after defibrillation,

re-adjust if necessary.

Note: Self-adhesive electrodes should be used during

defibrillation as these make it easier to work with

LUCAS. Position the defibrillator electrodes and

wires so they are not under the suction cup; if

electrodes are already on the patient, you may need

to apply new electrodes.

Defibrillation can be performed when LUCAS is

applied to the patient (Figure

h).

1. Apply electrodes and perform the defibrillation

according to manufacturer’s instruction for the

defibrillator.

2. After defibrillation or analysis of the outcome

verify the position of the suction cup and re-

adjust if necessary.

3.7 TRANSPORTING THE PATIENT

3.7.1 SECURING THE PATIENT’S ARMS

The patient’s arms can be fixed to the device during

transport, using the straps on the support legs

(Figure

j). This makes it easier to move the

patient, especially if not in a hospital environment.

WARNING – BLOCKED INTRAVENOUS

CATHETER

Do not tighten the patient strap/straps if drugs are

administered to the patient via an intravenous

catheter.

Caution – Do not lift by the straps

The straps are only intended for securing the

patient’s arms to LUCAS.

Apply the straps tightly enough to secure the arms,

but do not overtighten as this may reduce blood

circulation to the patient’s hands.
