After delivering a shock with an automated external defibrillator (AED), you should immediately resume CPR for about two minutes (or five cycles of 30 compressions and two breaths if performing rescue breaths) before re-evaluating the patient's condition. This continued CPR helps maintain blood flow until the heart can potentially regain a normal rhythm. Always ensure to follow the prompts of the AED and be prepared to analyze the heart rhythm again once the two minutes is complete.

What is the world record for the longest CPR recovery?

Having actually DONE CPR on a couple of hundred patients in my career as a Ambulance Officer, here in Toronto, Canada, I can say that after about 20 minutes, the person will NOT get back up off the table. That is with two person CPR, assisted with O2, and without any drug injections, or defib. At a certain point, CPR becomes useless, if there is no ability to do advanced recesitation methods.

What happens in hospital when someone arrests?

A cardiac arrest team will be called in, and the staff will start CPR immediately, they will use a BVM and Defib (if necessary) to attempt to resus the patient the cardiac arrest team will then move in and perform ALS on the patient. Usually the patient will go into respiratory arrest and then cardiac arrest, their heart rhythm will normally go from normal synas rhythm into VF (Ventiricualr Fibrillation) where a shock will be nececerry to stop the heart, and shock it back into normal rhythem. If the patient receives early CPR and early Defib they have a fairly good chance of surviving if they go into VF. Hope this helps.
