hello,
Usually prognosis is bad after two cardiac arrest, chances are less but still efforts should be continued to save him. It also depends upon after how much time of arrest he was resuscitated. Because long gag between arrest and resuscitation may lead to irreversible neurological damage, if he was immediately resuscitated and bp is fine then there are some chances that he ll come out.
