Short of a miracle, I don’t think there’s any hope for her.
Personal experience with that situation and the person did not make it.
You can press on a dead chest all night long, but it’s not going to accomplish much other than make you feel like you did something.
The single most important factor is how soon CPR is started after the heart stops beating. When I went through BLS this Summer, the paramedics said if you can get there within 1-2 minutes, the survival odds are good.
Thankfully, most folks who are trained will try. You can go ahead and give up.
Well she was probably better off that a nurse and doctor were helping her on the plane.
15 minutes to landing and then Paramedics spent an additional 15 minutes administering more CPR to Fisher before getting a pulse. The actress is now on a ventilator in the UCLA medical center.
I would say it would be a miracle if she survives. It sounds like she if being kept alive at this point. Because that was a very long time. I'm surprised they were even able to get a pulse back to be honest.
Time will tell I guess.
Drudge is currently quoting that she is unstable. Sounds more and more like she’s a goner, which might be better than living in a brain dead status.
Prayers for her and her family.
American Heart Association states a 10% chance of survival from CPR in non hospital setting
I never said I would give up, and that I a shitty thing to say.
Why would you say something like that?
>If she recovers, she might have that proof she is requesting<
.
Most people never get that chance.
Carrie Fisher may be close to death . . .
Darn! And I so hoped that she would play Hillary Clinton in the forthcoming movie. She has cankles also.
You are right, she ‘knew’ it for exactly two days before retracting.
Asked by Vulture at the New York Film Festival to clarify her tweet, Fisher took back the accusation, stating that it was most likely nerves causing Trump’s sniffles.
“I don’t [think he uses cocaine],” she told Vulture on Monday night. “I don’t know because every day something weirder comes out about him and more awful. But his brother was an alcoholic and died of it. I think it scared him. He says he doesn’t smoke, he doesn’t drink, he doesn’t do drugs, so he generally tells the worst truth to shock you. I know something about this, so if he did coke, he would want you to know.”

If I misinterpreted what you meant by the above sentence, then my apologies.
It was meant to be the generic you, as in anyone.
I accept your apology. Merry Christmas.
Yikes, a plane is not where you want to have a heart attack.
Well, no where is, but especially not a plane in flight.
Another one that was good looking and threw it all away...
