sounds fishy to me... if remember correctly from my many red cross cpr and lifeguarding classes, you are suppossed to start cpr asap because every minute that goes by w/o the brain getting oxygen, it is becoming damaged.

It's the tissue degredatation that results from the oxygen starvation that causes brain damage.

It's not bad enough for them to roll out the remedy yet.

Right, the trick is in cold but not frozen. If the tissues freeze, the resulting expansion when ice forms destroys the cell walls.
