The group performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Schraeder for around 11 to 13 minutes before an ambulance arrived and shocked him with an AED before taking him away. He survived thanks to their swift action and now advocates for stress testing, knowing where your nearest AED is located, learning CPR, and setting up emergency contacts.

Background: There are only two interventions that have been proven in the medical literature to improved outcomes in cardiac arrest: high-quality CPR and early defibrillation. It is imperative that we continue to look at ways to improve cardiac arrest resuscitation. Head Up (HUP) CPR may be the next critical improvement.

Patients can have excellent outcomes despite prolonged resuscitation. 2,3 If the patient meets criteria for resuscitation, they generally are not declared dead until their core temperature is above 32℃ (“warm and dead”).
