Desertia: "I can only assume that the amount of brain function left in this woman matches the idiots crowing about getting a pulse back. There will have been a reason why the cardiac surgeon said that CPR should be stopped."
Reason or not Desertia, medical training states 30 mins if casualty is over 1 and on Defib and there is no normal breathing when advised 'check for pulse' and 'no shock advised'; and 60 mins if under 1 if there is no normal breathing (infant will not be on Defib). It doesn't matter what any health care professional onboard the aircraft tries to tell you at the time and this has nothing to do with BASSA!
