Yeah that is standard. 

In fact they may put him in hypothermia protocol as well. Depends how long it took to get a rhythm back. 

Its all about how his brain recovers from the period of hypoxia. 


That's what I was thinking. Post-ROSC hypothermia protocols.

This is what I think is most likely.  A heart rhythm problem could be due to a fairly common valvular problem in athletes.  A brain aneurysm that ruptured would also be preexisting but undiagnosed which is usually the case.   brain aneurysms aren't commonly screened for..

Nope. No preexisting condition is needed. Just incredible bad luck.

Sadly, no it's not.  many codes result in resumption of normal rhythm with no need for intubation.
