Cardiopulmonary massage (CPR) is a fundamental procedure to help a patient in cardiac arrest. However, manual CPR is not of high quality in many situations. This is why mechanical devices have been developed for external chest compressions that, not being prone to fatigue, could potentially exceed some limits of manual CPR: one of these systems is the Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System (LUCAS) currently in use in the USL Toscana Sud Est and regulated by the Best Perfusion Company Route.
