The head of the water rescue team has just informed you that the divers have retrieved a young woman who fell through ice on a pond while walking her dog. The estimated submersion time is 22 minutes. Another EMT asks you if you think it is going to be necessary to start resuscitation, given the length of submersion. Which one of the following is the most appropriate reply?

A) "Let's assess her first. If she does not have a pulse, then we will contact medical direction for orders to not resuscitate." B) "Our resuscitation will consist of CPR only. The AED is contraindicated if the patient is hypothermic." C) "Probably not. Given the amount of time she was submerged in the water, there is most likely little that can be done." D) "Absolutely! Given that she has been in cold water, she may still have a chance at living."
