CPR keeps a minimal amount of oxygen in the blood, and keeps a minimal amount of blood flowing to the heart, brain, and other organs, until a defibrillator unit can be connected to restart the heartbeat. It is really only meant to buy time until the Emergency Medical team gets there. In the best case scenario it can double the patients chances of survival, but in all cases the chance of survival is very low.
