Okay. And what is the 30-day survival for cases where CPR would be otherwise indicated but are not performed?
It is a bit like complaining that jumping out of a burning airplane with a parachute is dangerous. Yes, it is. But jumping out of a parachute, or burning inside, is even more dangerous.

I suspect the survival rate won't be 0, and maybe won't even be less than 10%. The point of this whole subtree is that there are interventions that people wouldn't want for themselves because the expected outcome is very poor.
