5.8.2 Ventilation
Always follow local and/or international
guidelines for ventilation.
LUCAS can operate in two different modes:
•
ACTIVE (continuous)
When you push this key LUCAS performs
continuous compressions. The green
LED signal will blink 8 times per minute
to alert for ventilation during ongoing
compressions.
•
ACTIVE (30:2)
When you push this key, LUCAS performs
30 chest compressions and then tempo-
rarily stops for 3 seconds. During the stop,
the operator can perform 2 ventilations.
After the stop the cycle starts again. An in-
termittent LED in combination with an au-
dible signal sequence will alert the
operator before each ventilation pause.
5.8.3 Use in the catheterization
laboratory
LUCAS can be used in the catheterization
laboratory. Except for the compression
mechanism it is mainly radiotranslucent and
allows for most X-ray projections.
