An automated CPR device that provides consistent chest compressions during emergencies.

We have a Lucas and ZOLL Autopulse on all our ambulance rigs. They are amazing devices!!! We prefer our Autopulse in the field.

A mechanical CPR device keeps compression depth and rate steady when rescuers tire or the patient has to be moved. The AHA's 2025 guidelines still don't recommend it for routine use, because trials found no survival difference versus good manual CPR. Until one shows up, it's still you: call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest.

The real win is in the ambulance. People doing CPR fade after about 2 minutes, that's why guidelines say swap every 2. A machine keeps 100 to 120 pushes a minute at 5 to 6 cm deep the whole ride, even in a bouncing truck where no human can

That is really a very helpful tool.

Get that fucking thing off me and let me die

CPR actually has a spec: 100 to 120 pushes a minute, 2 to 2.4 inches deep. This thing is basically a calibrated fist that never drifts out of tolerance.

Incredible technology! 👏 This LUCAS device is a game changer. Provides perfect 100-120 compressions/min without fatigue, lets paramedics focus on other lifesaving steps. Truly lifesaving tech!
