That fact that can happen sometimes implies that it is possible to create paramedic equipment to determine the correct rate to do the CPR and apply cooling in order to get optimal results.

I would not want to be the one that has to procure the ethical clearances for the development though!

I would guess it is also a learning thing as well, given this research doctors shouldn't be so quick to declare death. Take this story where the doctor recommended life support be switched off, but she woke up three days later.
