Mechanical CPR in a child: can one size fit all?

This case report describes the successful resuscitation of an 11-year-old boy who suffered out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) using mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by adapting the Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System (LUCAS)2 Device by rolling a blanket under the patient's back to increase his chest height, thus allowing the LUCAS device to administer compliant CPR.
