Yes, but the success rate is not high with CPR alone. Typically a resuscitation is accomplished with defibrillation (such as from an AED), CPR is a stop gap measure to prevent the loss of heart and brain tissue while advanced care arrives in the form of Paramedics and Doctors. CPR success rates are higher in children than adults.

∙ 12y agoI have performed CPR 5 times to date. Of those 3 were brought back and were talking enroute to the hospital. Whether they walked out of the hospital I do not know. I can tell you though, the reason for the success is rapid intervention.
CPR is vitally important. In King County WA you have a better than 45% chance of surving cardiac arrest. That is the best in the nation. CPR saves lives, but you can't save them if you don't know it.
