If good quality CPR was given as it probably was the length of 9 minutes CPR doesn’t really indicate anything other than they were trying to get him conscious and restore his heart rhythm and it doesn’t automatically mean he was suffering brain damage or will have any. They key is how long he was out before.

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.
