When one doesn't breathe, how long does it take for death to happen?

Does it take longer than 15 minutes?

 

Without medical intervention, around 10 minutes.

A bag mask can prevent cardiac arrest, keeping the patient alive for an indefinite period.

Following cardiac arrest caused by respiratory arrest, the patients chances with hardly any oxygen in their blood are very slim, since the heart cannot be restarted without oxygen.

Continuous CPR, along with a bag mask and rapid transport to an ICU can save a life in this situation, but it is fairly rare.

 

This is making me think about the guillotine. They would hold the victim's head up so the victim could see the crowd, and if you turned it around, it could see it's own decapitated body laying by the device that is killing him/her.. If you think about it, all that the body really is would be a life support system, transportation system, and reproductive system for the brain.

There just might be a time, if human's can, and deserve, to survive when there will be heads outliving bodies by decades.

 

No worries he will go unconscious in probably around a minute

 

My record is 2 minutes and 15 seconds. It is too much pain so it is also unlikely to hold breathe until passing out either.

Plus I did this record when I did not eat food for 4 days. After I started eating food, I could no longer hold this long.

 

I choke on a piece of food and I’m on the floor out cold looking at the light in 30 seconds or less

 

Holding breathe for 30 seconds is a piece of cake. Really. No hard feeling at all. None. Unless you let all the breathe you had inhaled get OUT.

 

With guillotine, it is very unlikely to feel pain as long as the knife is sharp. In the past, considering they used the same quillotine for too many people, the sharpness of the knife of guillotine could have gotten less and this is something unwanted by the person whose head will be cut.

Normally, guilotine is supposed to cut your head in half a second. It is just a very fast thing. It just happens before you know it and it is very unlikely to feel pain with this speed.

But think that the sharpness of the knife gets less and it does not even cut your head in the first try let alone half a second. This would be terrible and it would be the only thing scaring about guilotine.

 

You can train your body to last much longer. The current record is over 24 minutes. Many people have gone over 20min

 

That is true, but their are a lot of contributory factors. Lung capacity is the main one. but being relaxed, ambient temperature and body mass are all contributory factors.

Unfortunately, the feelings of euphoria as oxygen levels in the brain fall has turned breath control into the most dangerous fetish on the planet. In London alone, it results in deaths almost every week.
It was the birth of the phrase "Death by misadventure" on coroners reports in the UK.

 

I soppose these could manage the hold the breathe for over 3 minutes standing the pain, which I am unable to. My record was only 2 minutes and 15 minutes and I also did it when I did not eat food for 4 days. Since I started eating food, I haven't been able to go more than 1 minutes and 30 seconds.

 

You need to stop playing games and concentrate on making friends in your city and having a decent social life.
The easiest way to socialise is through shared interests. Music and sport being the most common.
I know that covid makes it more difficult, but as long as you wear your mask in public places and don't get too drunk, it should not be too much of a problem.

 

FFS,here we go again!

 

My point was, it'd be too difficult to hold your breath till you pass out let alone die. The pain is far from being standable.

 

So, when you consider these facts, it is a hard work.

I would congratulate someone who managed to die holding his breathe because he had been able to stand the impossible pain even holding his breathe until he passed out. This is more than enough to congratulate the person. Alive or Dead.

 

depends on the individual and the environment. i think somewhere around seven and a half is average. but then you pass out before you die, and when you pass out your body will attempt to resume breathing. and that's where environment comes in. if you're under water or in the vacuum of space, that's pretty much it. but yah, if you're surrounded by a breatable atmosphere and just trying to hold you breath, forget it.

 

What is this fascinating of how to “off” yourself in most of your threads, Grandeur?
