I was a lifeguard at one point and we had to practice CPR a lot. I can’t remember the exact stats but the survival rate for someone in cardiac arrest with just CPR is absolutely dire. I think it was like less than 10% or maybe even less than 5% chance of it being successful. A defibrillator increases the chances of success dramatically but the odds still aren’t great and you need to get the defibrillator on them as rapidly as possible. If ten to fifteen minutes go by they’re probably fucked and they almost certainly are if 20 minutes have gone by. Also, ironically, the BPM of another one bites the dust by queen matches the compression rate for CPR perfectly and now you know that you probably won’t ever forget it, though you might get some funny looks if you started singing it out loud during the procedure!
