This is like saying your car battery isn't dead because I'm able to jump start it.

So why do we do CPR? Why do we use AEDs? Was all the CPR I have done a waste of time?

Dead means you are going to stay that way. Dead is irreversible. And until I and/or a doctor say you are dead, you are not. You are just maybe dead.

Dead means dead if you don't do anything about it
