PROPOSED RESCUE protocol includes that the primary objective of appropriate emergency treatment should be maintenance of life-support and NOT 'premature resuscitation' [prior to addressing the cause of the effect]. Resuscitation should be a secondary objective. Marathon Runners had fainted potentially as a protective effect to conserve/utilise what was left of an apparent relative shortage of fuel [cause] to the brain. Chest/heart massage can provide blood to the brain for hours ... plenty of time for medical assistance by way of an intra-venous glucose drip to raise the blood glucose fuel concentration to above 15mmol/litre or 270mg/decilitre or 2700mg/litre [preferably within 15 minutes of fainting]. Such a procedure is likely to return the heart to spontaneous rhythm and can be adopted at low cost and should be adopted globally asap ...
