How long after heart stops is a person brain dead?

The brain can survive for up to about six minutes after the heart stops. The reason to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is that if CPR is started within six minutes of cardiac arrest, the brain may survive the lack of oxygen. After about six minutes without CPR, however, the brain begins to die.

I doubt it. Once your brain is without oxygen for even a few minutes, it can have long term effects. Now, if the heart attack happend, but the heart started working again before the 6 minutes, there might be a better chance.

Resuscitation is not possible in brain death or clinical death?

Clinical death. Clinical death means the heart stops beating and a person stops breathing, at this stage a person can still be resuscitated. However while in this condition blood stops flowing to the brain and as a result the brain does not get the oxygen it requires to survive. if this condition lasts for too long then the brain dies. the result of which is that the body has no director to make it function properly and will die as well as a result.


How long can a person live if your brain is dead from strokes but you are still breathing and your heart is still beating?

If your brain is dead you are dead. Because that is the thing sending all the signals for your body to still function. Agreeing to the above statement, you CAN live if you have a working brain stem, however you would be a vegetable state and that is never any fun.


Once heart stops how long is it until brain damage occurs?

There are a lot of variables, but 4 minutes is the usual guideline. Blood carries oxygen, and blood is pumped by the heart. Brain damage occurs after 4 minutes without fresh oxygen to the brain.
