It is that simple. CPR -- if done properly -- is only done on dead people. Dead people don't come back on their own. And if CPR is done on somebody who "doesn't need it" then by definition it was done wrong, because they weren't dead in the first place.

- shkkmo 3y agoThis is wrong, CPR almost never brings people back. What CPR does is provide minimal bloodflow and oxygenation until electricity can be used to get the heart beating properly again. By doing this, you extend the window during which an AED (or other defibrilator) can be used successfully and hopefully reduce brain damage in the event of that success. Indeed, if you have an AED, delaying its use to provide CPR is bad.
