When starting CPR the patient is unconscious, not breathing and has no pulse - this is called clinical death. At the point when the patient stopped breathing, their brain has approxamately 4 minutes till brain death starts. By doing CPR you are effectively feeding the brain with Oxygen rich blood and therefore preventing tissue necrosis.

The chances of survival for a person who has experienced a cardiac arrest in increased by early CPR and early defibrillation.
