People in the experiment were deemed unconcious from 1.6 seconds to almost 10 seconds after the choke began. Others were not choked out after 20 seconds. If you held the person who was unconcious after 1.6 seconds for another 8 or 9 seconds, you could cause permanent brain damage or death.
Laryngeal Obstruction. Choking occurs when a foreign object becomes lodged in the throat or windpipe, blocking the flow of air. Because choking cuts off oxygen to the brain, administer first aid as quickly as possible. Without FIRST AID, the lack of airflow can cause serious brain damage or even death by asphyxiation.
