Under normal circumstances, brain death will occur in the absence of oxygen in:

3-4 minutes
4-6 minutes
7-10 minutes
10-12 minutes

Explanation

Answer: B - On average, it takes the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) 7-10 minutes to arrive at the scene which is particularly problematic as brain death will occur in 4-6 minutes in the absence of oxygen. Under unusual circumstances, such as with immersion in cold water, brain damage can be delayed because of the retardation of cellular processes.
