How A Toilet Plunger Improved CPR

* ...reported results from 380 patients who could not be revived by defibrillation, making their odds of survival particularly bleak. Among those who received the new CPR method within 11 minutes of cardiac arrest, 6.1 percent survived with brain function intact, compared with just 0.6 percent who received traditional CPR.*

6% of 380 is 22.8 people, 6.1% is 23.18 persons. This makes no sense, and is also not remotely statistically significant. What am I missing?

0.6% of 380 is 2.28 people.

So new method is 10x better.

Thank you, i assume the fractions of people come from rounding off sig figs in the % figure and the true values are 2 people vs 23 people
