Don't know if any of you watched ER last night, but I've got a question about it..........during the episode they we're doing cpr on a pt and apparently they were doing it well enough to get enough O2 to the brain and the pt became and remained A & O while they were still doing cpr.......they tried "everything", but could not get the heart to beat on it's own and eventually they stopped after family arrived to let the pt die. Is this actually possible to do in cpr? I've never heard of such a thing and was wondering how true to life that cpr scene was.
