Tech In Plain Sight: Meet The Robot That Does CPR

An overview of mechanical CPR devices like the LUCAS chest compression system, which uses an electrically driven piston to perform consistent chest compressions during cardiac arrest. Covers how the device works, its history from Lund, Sweden, alternative systems like ZOLL's AutoPulse and corpuls cpr, and clinical trial evidence (PARAMEDIC and LINC trials) showing mechanical CPR hasn't proven statistically superior to high-quality manual CPR, though it frees up medical staff and works well during patient transport.
