It depends on the type of arrest and your "downtime"
Generally 25mins is considered a long time but there's also a lot more to consider such as the persons general health, age etc.
For example if the person had the cardiac arrest and was alone and not found for say 10mins and then they receicved medical attention for 15 and then they came back, that is very different to someone who had a witnessed arrest and received medical attention straight away and had CPR for 25mins and then came back!
