You can 'survive' (that is, the brain stem is not damaged) anywhere between 10 seconds and an hour after you stop breathing.
It's this portion of time they're interested in.
They'll work as normal to resucciate the people, and interrogate them when and if they do wake up.

But the worst part is, if they did, and someone died... There'd be no trial, no prosecution. Another death in the name of science is not worth such hassles.
