How much time do a doctor have if you stop breathing to revive you?
The answer is 4 min.
The human brain begins to experience irreparable damage after only four minutes without oxygen (also known as clinical death). After this point, a patient who experiences cardiac arrest or another condition causing breathing cessation has little chance of surviving, let alone of achieving a good functional recovery or outcome.
