Is it true that N has neuroprotective properties and that If your "saved" you won't suffer severe brain damage?

[intr0verse]

If you're found and "saved" while still breathing so your brain won't lack oxygen, you will recover without brain damage. If you're found after you've stopped breathing and revived, the damage will depend on how much time has passed between your breath stopped and the moment you've been resuscitated (the amount of time your brain was not oxygenated).

 

[Chronicillness]

Opioids have putative neuroprotective properties to them, probably more so than any barbiturate could ever procure for the ailing brain, but plenty of people have overdosed, been revived shortly thereafter, and still consequentially suffered from anoxic brain damage.

Mess with your body's ability to breathe optimally, and you risk triggering a cascade of metabolic collapses that can cause permanent organ damage.
