My grandmother was one of the lucky few who survived thanks to field CPR. She went into cardiac arrest on a flight in her early 70s. She was sitting next to a cardiac care unit nurse. The nurse did compressions on her in the aisle of the plane for 45 minutes until they were able to land and meet an ambulance on the runway at O’Hare. She bounced back and had several more good years with a sharp mind before dying (peacefully, in home hospice) of congestive heart failure at 80.
