Doctor who pronounced George Floyd dead testifies that Floyd was in cardiac arrest when he arrived at the hospital.
"It's well known that any amount of time that a patient spends in cardiac arrest without immediate CPR markedly decreases the chance of a good outcome."

"Approximately 10-15% decrease in survival for every minute that CPR is not administered."
Testimony in the third day of the trial resumes with Genevieve Hansen, the off-duty firefighter who was at the scene of George Floyd’s death, returning to the witness stand.
