Near Death Experience study

Post by Huseng »

Interesting study detailing the experiences of people who suffered cardiac arrest:

http://www.resuscitationjournal.com/article/S0300-9572(14" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)00739-4/abstract

Summary of the results:
Among 2060 CA events, 140 survivors completed stage 1 interviews, while 101 of 140 patients completed stage 2 interviews. 46% had memories with 7 major cognitive themes: fear; animals/plants; bright light; violence/persecution; deja-vu; family; recalling events post-CA and 9% had NDEs, while 2% described awareness with explicit recall of ‘seeing’ and ‘hearing’ actual events related to their resuscitation. One had a verifiable period of conscious awareness during which time cerebral function was not expected.
Please share any other recent studies.
