Ever wonder what would happen to cardiac arrest survival after a system implements LUCAS devices and trains really hard to deploy them appropriately? Wonder no more. Dr Jarvis reviews a paper from the Austin/Travis County EMS System that will shed some light on the question. This is the second episode in a series on mechanical compression devices.  Citations:1.     Gonzales L, Oyler BK, Hayes JL, Escott ME, Cabanas JG, Hinchey PR, Brown LH: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes with “pit crew” resuscitation and scripted initiation of mechanical CPR.
