How long will the brain become paralyzed due to asphyxiation?

Patient's question:

Usually interested in medicine, I recently saw that when the human brain has difficulty breathing, it can lead to a brain collapse. So I wanted to ask, how long does breathing difficulty in the brain take to cause a brain collapse?

Doctor's answer:

According to the question you raised, I am very happy to clarify it for you. Generally, the time of brain hypoxia should not exceed six minutes. If it is less than six minutes, there is no chance to reverse it. Therefore, once brain hypoxia occurs again, it is necessary to go to the nearby hospital immediately for oxygen therapy, and then transfer to a higher-level hospital for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Your idea is very correct; knowing more medical knowledge is beneficial for both individuals and others.
