But apparently there has been lots of patients who survived after 30 minutes of resuscitation efforts who "did not appear to have substantially worse neurological functions at discharge". Interesting.

I found one that lasted three times as long and survived.

I wonder what they mean by healthy. No doubt he was healthy enough to function, but rather hard to believe he suffered no ischemic damage at all? Or maybe they fixed him up after.

Does raise the question of when do you stop trying to resuscitate.
