I'm in need of some help! Can anyone tell me if it is possible for a human to go 8 minutes without oxygen? I'm not sure if this is even feasible or if it is just a myth. I know humans can survive for a short amount of time underwater in some instances, so I'm wondering if 8 minutes without oxygen is possible? Has anyone ever heard of anything like this happening or done any research on it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cevap: Hayır, 8 dakikadan daha uzun bir süre oksijensiz kalınamaz. Oksijensiz kalmanın kısa süreli sonuçları ağır solunum sıkıntısı, baş dönmesi ve karın ağrısı gibi fiziksel belirtiler olabilir. Ancak, oksijensiz kalma süresi 8 dakikadan daha uzun sürelerde, beyin hasarı, organların hasarı ve ölüm gibi ciddi sonuçlar verebilir. Oksijen, vücudun besinleri ve enerjiyi yakma, tüm hayati organların çalışmasını sağlamak için gereklidir.

No, you cannot go 8 minutes without oxygen. Oxygen is essential for all living organisms, including humans. Our bodies need oxygen to create energy and to survive. Without oxygen, our cells would not be able to function and our bodies would shut down. The average human can only survive for a few minutes without oxygen before serious brain damage or death occurs.

Yes, you can go 8 minutes without oxygen. The average human can survive up to 8 minutes without oxygen before the brain is permanently damaged, although this varies from person to person. This is because the body is able to store some oxygen in the blood and tissues, allowing it to continue functioning for a short period of time. However, once the 8 minute mark is reached, the body begins to shut down and the individual will experience severe health issues if oxygen is not re-introduced soon. Therefore, it is important to get medical assistance immediately following any oxygen deprivation.

"What happens to your body if you go 8 minutes without oxygen?"

Without oxygen, the body can only last a short time before it begins to suffer from oxygen deprivation. After about four minutes, the body's cells can start to be damaged, and after eight minutes, the body can experience permanent damage and organ failure. Without oxygen, the cells of the body can not metabolize glucose, and the brain will begin to suffer from hypoxia, leading to confusion, loss of consciousness, and eventually, cardiac arrest. In most cases, death will occur within eight minutes if oxygen is not administered to the body.
