How often does cpr work to revive someone from cardiac arrest?

It depends: With the exception of hypothermia (cold exposure) and certain drowning situations, CPR is successful in less than 25% of cases.

5%: CPR alone is not the answer depends on underlying medical condition - generally babies and younger population do better.
