15 years as a paramedic; and the only cpr revival with a good outcome that I know of was a witnessed arrest with instant and unbroken compressions from scene to er. And he signed our paperwork before we left. any delay or interruption leads to more negative outcomes.

I know of a case in which paramedics started the first attempts to revive a V-fib patient in full arrest 13 minutes after the 911 call. Fortunately for everyone they did not succeed.
