Although other cpr devices provide consistent compression depth and rate the lucas device because of its integrated suction cup is the only automated device that assists the decompression phase by drawing up on the chest and returning it to neutral.
This video showcases the most efficient use of the lucas 3 device when first responding to an emergency.
A common problem during manual cpr is that the chest does not always recoil because of an increase in chest wall compliance softens.
