The lack of blood oxygenation leads to the fall of blood pressure, affects the metabolism and, if not continuously, begins to generate cell death
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) said that his father, Jair Bolsonaro, was “almost 10 seconds without breathing” before being brought to the hospital this week. The former president was hospitalized, but was discharged and returned to his house on Wednesday 17, where he was serving the arrest of the house.

Flávio declared in an interview with the press that Bolsonaro was experiencing a hiccup crisis and the situation “crashes” his diaphragm, as he reported. In this, he would not have been able to breathe for a few seconds, and the way he discovered to resume normality was vomiting. All this with dizziness and low blood pressure.
In addition to the specific case of Jair Bolsonaro, EarthThe cardiologist Fernando Ribas, of the Portuguese charity of San Paolo, explained that ten seconds without breathing are little time to appear complications.
According to him, it is common for healthy people to take about 2 minutes without breathing without having significant impacts on their health. However, it underlines that there is no “safe time”, as it varies a lot from hand to hand, considering the characteristics of the blood and comorbilities.
Ribas explains that when the person does not breathe, the blood pressure levels of oxygen decreases, until a time arrives when the cells begin to request other forms of energy, which affect the metabolism. “Finally, since there is no more oxygen and has also used other forms of energy, he is starting to be cell death,” says the expert.
When it comes, for example, a complete cardiorespiratory arrest, without oxygenation and circulation of 3-5 minutes, the lesions can be irreversible in the brain.
The expert explains that there are several causes that can lead to respiratory arrest. The main one, said, is asphyxiation – when there is a block of the airways. Another common form is due to allergic reactions which, in serious cases, can generate anaphylactic shock or anaphylaxis, with the obstruction of the glottis by the Edema itself.
He also cites drowning, trauma (such as hitting his head and can temporarily lose the brain to reflection), large chest and shock injuries (which can cause momentary muscle paralysis that will stop breathing).
More information on Bolsonaro’s situation
Bolsonaro was admitted to the DF Star Hospital in Brazilia, around 16:00 on Tuesday 16, after being breathing and episodes of vomiting. He was staged accompanied by the former First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro and was hospitalized under the observation of the medical team. Dr. Claudio Birolini, director of general surgery at the USP Das Clínicas hospital and the former president, traveled to the federal capital to follow the treatment.
Also Tuesday, Bolsonaro had a battery of exams, was treated and received the indication of not ingesting solid foods. The diagnosis that brought Bolsonaro to the hospital was a pre-ninceal picture, which happens when there is a drop in blood pressure. Bolsonaro also had anemia, dehydration and alteration of renal function.
Flávio Bolsonaro visited his father on the hospital day and attributed the discomfort to the decision of the first class of the Supreme Court (Stf) who sentenced Bolsonaro to 27 years in prison for the plot of the coup. He also asked “Troown” by Minister Alexandre De Moraes, a speaker of the trial, to whom he defined a “terrorist”.
On Wednesday 17, the former president left the hospital early in the afternoon and, in parallel, the results of the procedure that performed last Sunday also arrived, when he removed the lesions on the skin. The result was skin cancer.
In addition, the doctor said that Bolsonaro continues to have episodes of this, sometimes more intense. “And when he has these most intense sobs, one of the things that happens is that he is a little suffocated, let’s say. So he has a reflection vomiting,” he added.
