What is the permanent damage to the brain after 10 minutes without oxygen?
The brain can survive without oxygen for about 3 minutes before it is permanently damaged. After 3 minutes there is likely to be severe brain damge which usually leads to a coma.

After 10 minutes, (without special measures such as freezing) the brain will most likely be dead.
