With the heart not beating anymore, oxygenated blood will no longer be pumped to the brain. This in term will slowly starve to death of oxygen, this, in most cases, is around the three minute mark.
Resuscitation is not possible in brain death or clinical death?
Clinical death. Clinical death means the heart stops beating and a person stops breathing, at this stage a person can still be resuscitated. However while in this condition blood stops flowing to the brain and as a result the brain does not get the oxygen it requires to survive. if this condition lasts for too long then the brain dies. the result of which is that the body has no director to make it function properly and will die as well as a result.
Once breathing has stoped and the heart has stoped beating brain death starts in how many minutes?
Brain death can't be determined if the heart has already stopped, this would be considered cardiac death. Brain death is determined when someone is on a ventilator (not breathing on their own due to injury or illness) and an EEG or other procedure has been completed and shows no signs of brain activity. The body will continue to "live" with the help of the ventilator oxygenating the organs, but when taken off the ventilator then the body has no impulse to breathe for itself due to the brain being dead.
