Outcome after Resuscitation Beyond 30 Minutes in Drowned Children with Cardiac Arrest and Hypothermia: Dutch Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study
BMJ 350:h418, Kieboom, J.K.,et al, 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Drowned children in whom return of spontaneous circulation is not achieved within 30 minutes of advanced life support have an extremely poor outcome. Good neurological outcome is more likely when spontaneous circulation returns within 30 minutes of advanced life support, especially when the drowning incident occurs in winter. These findings question the therapeutic value of resuscitation beyond 30 minutes in drowned children with cardiac arrest and hypothermia.
