- lotsofpulp 3y ago*and with what quality of life did she survive? If I am 85 years old, maybe it is better for me to move on.
- EA-3167 3y agoCPR + Old Lady + Not in a hospital = Almost certainly didn't survive, or live well if she did.
- mikepurvis 3y agoYeah, that's what I got from lifeguard training. The best chance of doing anything positive with it is going to be on an otherwise young and healthy person whose heart stopped due to a very unusual trauma. And CPR and artificial respiration is never a miraculous eyes-opening recovery like in the movies— it's pretty much just putting oxygen in the brain to buy a few extra minutes for the ambulance to arrive and take over.
- spacechild1 3y agoCorrect :-(
- EA-3167 3y agoI'm sure you did everything you could, the sad fact of life is that eventually it ends.
- spacechild1 3y agoAh, sorry! I heard afterwards that she was declared dead when she arrived in the hospital...
