Do they revive people when they find them in their homes dead, or do they just check for a pulse and call the time of death?

But why not try to revive them after a certain amount of time?

Generally, they know how long they’ve been there. They’ll check a pulse when they arrive, but they usually don’t do anything unless there is a pulse or their heart has just stopped. Amy Whitehouse was dead for quite a while before any help arrived.

Just a few minutes after death, the brain shuts down. Even if they manage to revive the body (unlikely), the brain will be dead, and therefore, the person will literally be a vegetable … there’s just no point.

That’s right. The brain needs oxygen. If it doesn’t get oxygen, the brain cells die. And that can not be cured. About 5 minutes after a person stopped to breathe, the oxygen in the blood is used up. Then the brain starts taking damage. About 10 minutes after they stopped breathing, most of the persons personality is gone. They would be in half-conscious coma for the rest of their life if they were revived. About 15 minutes after the last breath, the brain is completely dead. Which means that even if you revive a person they will never have a heartbeat or a pulse again. You can keep the body alive with machines, but the nerves are dead and cannot send any signals anymore that will control even the basic functionalities of the body.

depends wht state they r if they find a pulse they revive them if nt then they try cpr or a paramedic team takes ovr if they arrive early
