What is the permanent damage to the brain after 10 minutes without oxygen?

Answer 1

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. If you survive the coma you will probably have very limited brain function i.e. not being able to walk or talk. After 10 minutes, (without special measures such as freezing) the brain will most likely be dead.

Answer 2

As a general rule, permanent damage is likely if the brain is more than 3-4 minutes without oxygen. 10 minutes is almost certain to cause lasting damage and in the majority of cases would result in death. This is one reason why it is vital to begin CPR on anyone whose heart has stopped beating (cardiac arrest) as soon as possible. This involves chest compressions over the heart (right in the middle of the chest, roughly between the two nipples) - 30 in 20 seconds - followed by 2 rescue breaths and then immediately continuing chest compressions. An ambulance should be called immediately when anyone collapses, regardless of whether their heart has stopped.

Answer 3

unconsciousness
