§
Key points:
Ÿ
Reiterate the purpose of the Stabilization Strap is to help secure the correct
position during operation, and should not be tightened more than needed.
Ÿ
Delay the application of the Stabilization Strap if it prevents or delays any medical
treatment of the patient.
17. Checks for proper position of Suction Cup, adjusting if needed
§
Key points:
Ÿ
Some people will use a marker and draw a line on the chest around the top and/or
bottom of the Suction Cup to help monitor placement during operation.
Ÿ
The rescuer managing the airway can help inspect the position of the Suction Cup
from the head, making sure it is centered on the chest.
With LUCAS device operating in one of the ACTIVE modes:
1. Retrieve a charged spare from the carrying bag
2. Pause the compressions and remove the battery
3. Insert the new Battery and press
ACTIVE once the green LED next to the
PAUSE button is lit
§
Key points:
Ÿ
Point out the port for the external power supply
Ÿ
Explain the device can operate for prolonged periods while on external
power but emphasise that a Battery always needs to be installed in the device
for it to operate
Ÿ
Explain you must detach the power supply cord by pulling back on the plastic
connector. Do not pull the cable directly as this can damage the charging port.
With LUCAS device paused, emphasise the following:
1. Make sure no pads or wires are under the Suction Cup. If the patient already has
pads applied they may need to be replaced.
2. During a rhythm check or AED analysis you’ll need to stop compressions by
pressing the PAUSE button (manual or mechanical compressions interfere with
rhythm analysis).
3. To minimise interruptions and resume CPR as soon as possible, you can charge
and defibrillate the patient without removing the LUCAS device and while
compressions are ongoing.
Instructor Notes:
After walking through each step, with LUCAS device still applied to the manikin,
demonstrate changing the battery during operation (hot swap) and where the external
Power Supply is connected if necessary.
Instructor Notes:
After demonstrating changing the Battery during operation, pause compressions and
discuss the considerations for defibrillation while using the LUCAS device.
