no heartbeat for 45 minutes means no blood to the brain for 45 minutes which is a serious problem.....
this article seems a little fishy

Not if there was adequate chest compressions.

The doctors and nurses were actively attempting to resuscitate her for 40 minutes. That means they were performing chest compressions, the point of which is to perfuse tissues until the heart starts beating again. It is very rare for someone to survive after that long, but she didn't go 45 minutes without any blood to the brain.
