Acute clinical adverse events associated with the LUCAS chest compression system.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) devices, such as the Lund University Cardiac Assist System (LUCAS), were developed to reduce variability in the quality of chest compressions and improve outcomes of cardiac arrest. With increasing adoption of mechanical CPR devices, understanding the nature and frequency of device-related complications is critical to ensuring patient safety.

Methods

This was a retrospective analysis of all adverse events involving the LUCAS 1.0, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0 and 3.1 devices from 2015 to 2024 Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) maintained by the US Food and Drug -Administration. Reports were manually reviewed, categorized by device subtype, and further stratified by type of complication. Events were grouped
