That’s what good CPR does. It keeps the brain oxygenated until return of spontaneous circulation can be achieved. He was getting it almost immediately which gives him a better chance than the average out of hospital cardiac arrest victim.

It’s still a very bad situation but better than someone collapsing at home or work and not getting care until the ambulance arrived.
