This is referred to as CPR I nduced C onsciousness ( CPRIC ). 2013 Jan;31(1):222-6.

Meyer MD Clinical Scenario You are dispatched to a 57-year-old male with a witnessed cardiac arrest and bystander CPR being performed. Your partner deploys the cardiac monitor and while CPR is continued you turn your attention to establishing vascular access. On arrival to the scene, you find the patient pulseless and apneic.
1,2 However, the European TTM1 trial in 2013 showed similar outcomes for those cooled to 33 degrees Celsius compared to 36 degrees Celsius, leading to a 2015 AHA class I recommendation of “cooling between 32 degrees Celsius-36 degrees Celsius.” 5,6 In 2021, the TTM2 trial was published.
Medics found her apneic and pulseless, began CPR, and she was found to be in asystole. A middle-age woman with h/o hypertension was found down by her husband. With ventilations and epinephrine, she regained a pulse. She was never seen to be in ventricular fibrillation and was never defibrillated.
Here is another proven left main occlusion in a young woman who presented with sudden pulmonary edema, had this ECG recorded, then arrested and was resuscitated after 30 minutes of CPR: This has sinus tachycardia with RBBB and LAFB, and STE in V2-V6 as well as I, aVL This pattern could just as easily be seen in LAD occlusion.
The CPR course typically takes 4 to 8 hours to complete. With your CPR card in hand, you must then attend another course to earn an emergency medical technician certification. According to a 2013 study conducted by CoAEMSP, paramedic school attrition hovers between 30%-40%.

Angiography was technically challenging as the patient was receiving CPR, but the cardiologist suspected acute stent thrombosis and initiated cangrelor, although no repeat angiography was able to be obtained. During the resuscitation, she received amiodarone 450 mg IV, lidocaine 100 mg IV, and magnesium 6 g IV. SanzRuiz, R., Solis, J., &
The 3/3/2 rule: Figure 3: how to perform the 3/3/2 rule (Image modified from UpToDate.com) If the patient has less than the specified measurement of 3, 3, or 2 fingers in these parameters, this is very specific (95%) for having a more difficult intubation (Mahmoodpoor, 2013)–although only about 25% sensitive.
