Him being in critical condition right now is not an indication of severity of the cardiac test either as it’s a designation given to anyone intubated and in the ICU.

Thank you. I don't think people realize that the time elapsed BEFORE CPR is initiated is when the brain damage occurs. Not DURING CPR. CPR keeps the blood and oxygen flowing thru the body while trying to restart the heart.
