Approximately 12 minutes after dispatch, First Responders reported they obtained ROSC and requested a helicopter to land nearby.

(Return of Spontaneous Circulation) refers to the resumption of a sustained heartbeat and blood flow following cardiac arrest, often as a result of effective CPR and defibrillation. Achieving ROSC is a critical milestone in resuscitation, as it indicates that the heart has started to beat on its own again. It marks the transition from active resuscitation to post-resuscitation care, where efforts focus on stabilizing the patient and preventing further cardiac events or complications.)
