Six to nine minutes seem to be the time frame a brain can tolerate being without oxygen before serious irreparable damage occurs.

This can vary in newborns and young children who seem to be more resilient than adults.

Also, temperature of the individual will also impact neurologic outcome. Colder temperatures decrease the body's oxygen demand so hypothermic states will lengthen the time tolerated without oxygen.

What will happen when octopuses have one heart?

Usually octopuses have three hearts. I'm not really sure what would happen if they only had one heart. But their brain is very large, and needs blood pumped into it constantly.
