About 6 minutes before brain cells start to die. If a person has a cardiac arrest resuscitation has to begin within this time to be successful. The time may be prolonged if the body is cooled, for example by drowning in ice cold water.
As mentioned, temperature (specifically metabolism) plays a very big role in how long you can go without oxygen, but as general guideline:
- Heart: Needs constant oxygen
- Brain: 4-6 min
- Kidneys: +- 30 min
- Muscles: +- 2-4 hours
- GI Tract: +- 12 hours
Thus, the main areas of concern is the heart and the brain.
A human body ca only live for six minutes without oxygen, before the brain cells start to die.

Ezra3 to 5 minutes to brain death is normal, anything over 5 minutes will result in permanent brain damage, but people have been drowned in very cold water and recovered after hours of no oxygen, the rapid loss of body temperature saved the brain tissue by slowing brain cell deterioration.
Up to 16 minutes
After five to ten minutes of not breathing, one is likely to develop brain damage. After 10 minutes many of the brain cells die and patient is unlikely to recover. However, survival after 30 minutes has also occurred in some cases.
The brain cannot go without oxygen for more than ten minutes. If oxygen is not able to get to the brain before this, then there is a possibility of irreversible brain damage.
Brain cells begin to die if oxygen levels are very low for four minutes or longer, and after five minutes permanent anoxic brain injury can occur. So anything up until 3 minutes is fine.
Your body can go w/out it for about 7 min. take or give I'm pretty sure that's when the brain fails too
3 minutes till you'll get irreversible brain damage.
If lying in a coma, never be the same again and such things are an option for you, 5-10min.

How long can the average human brain live without oxygen?
The average human brain can survive about 4-6 minutes without oxygen before permanent damage occurs. After 10 minutes without oxygen, irreversible damage and death are likely. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to restore oxygen supply to the brain.
Can you survive being under water for 12 minutes?
If the water was extremely cold there is a possibility, though the human brain cannot go without oxygen for 5 minutes on average.
Can the human body survive without a brain and use only it's ganglia?
Yes, but only in lawyers.
Brain Cell with no oxygen for 18 minutes?
Actually, no human being can go without oxygen for 4 minutes and be expected to live
Which gas do human being need to survive?
Humans need oxygen to survive. Oxygen is necessary for cellular respiration, which allows our cells to produce energy. Without a steady supply of oxygen, our organs and tissues would not function properly.
Why is oxygen essential for human survival?
Oxygen is essential for human survival because it is needed for the process of cellular respiration, which is how our cells produce energy. Without oxygen, our cells would not be able to function properly and we would not be able to survive.
What organ in the human body uses 40 percent of the oxygen in your blood?
The brain is the organ that uses about 20% of the oxygen in your blood.
Do all cells need oxygen to survive?
No, some cells can survive without oxygen through a process called anaerobic respiration. However, most cells in the human body require oxygen to generate energy efficiently through aerobic respiration.
How long can the go brain without blood?
General medical consensus states that the human brain can go without oxygenated blood for 3 to 5 minutes without suffering major brain damage. After this time has elapsed, the cells in the brain will begin to die from lack of oxygen, resulting in brain damage.
Would a human suffocate on Mars?
Yes humans will suffocat on Mars. Human depend on Oxygen to breathe and without oxygen, we will die. Oxygen is present in th Earth's atmosphere and it is not on Mars. To survive on Mars, we need to use an astronaut's suit with oxygen support.
Why is oxygen important your body?
Oxygen is important to human body because it aid in breathing
Human beings can survive without fresh water?
yes human being can't survive without fresh water
