Too many questions to answer it with confidence. Age, risk factors, family history, and many others. If you survived a cardiac arrest and can type, you’re on the winning team. God bless and listen to your cardiologist and internist

There is no single answer. The length of stay depends heavily upon why it happened, what the conditions are, any heart injury, or lung injury or kidney or brain injury, age, and outcome and complications.

Strictly depends on the reason for the cardiac arrest and treatment interventions. Depending on the study you consider, approx. survival to discharge ranges approx. 14-17%. It sounds like you are one of the fortunate individuals with a superior treatment team.
