Man, fuck all the heroes in this thread.
I'd 100% fuck with some neighbor asshole who resuscitated me into a life with a whole rack of broken ribs on top of all the other problems

i asked my first aid instructor about DNR and he responded with a very firm "you didn't see it".

I was gonna call this cap because CPR that long after collapse has infinitesimally small odds, but I looked it up and turns out I'm wrong. CPR anyone you see down!
They also talk about snow. The cold slows down bodily functions.
Nobody is dead until they are warm and dead.
My understanding was always that CPR isn't meant to revive someone its meant to keep them viable for revival by people with better training/equipment.
Yeah, basically you're trying to force some circulation through the brain by manually pumping the heart - which is as much about clearing the waste buildup out of the brain as it is getting fresh oxygen to the brain, and also about preventing clots (which will later cause aneurysms when the blood starts flowing normally). Everything else is essentially expendable/repairable/replaceable.
Even the breathing part isn't very important, though the initial check to make sure the airway is clear is very important. If you're doing the chest compressions right, you'll force some airflow through the lungs anyway. The important part is getting the blood to circulate. Having stagnant blood sitting in the brain is really bad.
The current CPR procedure recommends 100-120 chest compressions of at least 2" (5cm) per minute. You are going to hurt them. You may crack their ribs. You need to compress the heart through their ribs and muscle and other tissue that's in the way. Even if you're in good physical shape, it is an exhausting thing to do. It's definitely something worth learning to do correctly - take a class if you can! You can absolutely save someone's life if their heart stops.

If you're really good at CPR they often regain consciousness while you are doing chest compressions and complain. Every time you pause, they die again

I mean, it sounds like that's exactly what the miserable bastard wants.
Eh it could be arranged anyway
