Roughly 4 in 10 patients who were revived by CPR after cardiac arrest reported clear memories of experiencing death, according to a new study led by New York University School of Medicine researchers.
"Those suffering from a cardiac arrest die if not treated immediately," according to. "Out of around 350,000 resuscitation attempts outside hospitals every year, the approximate survival rate varied from 5 to 10 percent, according to CPR Select. There is a 20 percent chance of survival out of 750,000 attempts in hospitals every year."
The study followed 567 men and women experiencing cardiac arrest in the hospital between May 2017 and March 2020 in the U.S. and the United Kingdom. Of those, 85 were monitored via EEG to measure their brain waves. Another 126 community survivors of cardiac arrest who said they had memories from their cardiac arrest were interviewed, as well.Of those who survived and completed interviews, 39% reported memories or perceptions from cardiac arrest and 21% had a "transcendent experience.
That could account for the notion that one's life flashes past as one is dying. The release said that "while no one knows the evolutionary purpose of this phenomenon, it 'opens the door to a systematic exploration of what happens when a person dies.'" The researchers note that brain activity and awareness have long been reported but are not well understood. They said this is the first study of its kind to look at consciousness and electrocortical biomarkers during CPR.
