There is no reserve as such, oxygen is carried by haemoglobin molecules in the blood. It is transfered to parts of the body when it requires it.
As such if a person stops breathing, the amount of brain damage sustained from a lack of oxygen increases with time, from approximately 4 minutes there is a risk. After 15 minutes it is very risky. This is why it is so important to start CPR as soon as possible.
