Resuscitation outside of hospital

There seems to be people commenting here with a degree of medical knowledge well ahead of mine. Maybe they can correct me if I'm wrong, but:

I have been told that resus in a non-hospital environment is actually successful in less than 10% of cases. I personally feel for the crew involved in this situation.

I also have seen in person, and via anecdotal evidence from good sources, the SEVERE LACK of training for Jetstar CC. To state the obvious, though I think it is worth doing - that is not the fault of the CC themselves. I have been thrown into situations with poor training myself in the past - at times you simply don't realise how unprepared you are at the time. It's only later, when you get good training, or heaven forbid when something does go really wrong, that you get a really good appreciation. But by then it's too late...

CR.
