Oxygen can no longer enter the bloodstream, which in turn will cause the brain to begin shutting down. If the brain is only deprived for a short time (3-5 minutes,) minor brain damage may occur, but any longer than that can have severe to deadly consequences. The brain cells will die off and cannot be restored.
