CPR doesn't bring a decompensated body back to life. You gotta figure out the problem in order to do that and fix it. That's what the algorithms we use in a code is for (as opposed to the algorithms you guys code). That's the real esoteric necromancy. Epi, bicarb, epi.

But they are literally dead

And they'll stay dead if all you do is CPR. CPR alone is closer to necrophilia than necromancy.

Sometimes they only need a couple compressions

Usually they're not dead when that happens. I personally have never had that happen in any of my codes but all my people are connected to continuous cardiac monitoring so I generally know what's happening before I even see them.
