Out of all of those cases, about forty seven percent of deaths occurred outside of the hospital. This suggested that most people either…

“Near-death experience in survivors of cardiac arrest: a prospective study in the Netherlands” was published in the Lancet, a well-known medical journal, to share the effects of near-death experiences and the possible influences that act upon it. Psychologists observed patients throughout eight years in an effort to see their outcomes on life. The experimenters also wanted to know if other influences such as medications, time between CPR, seriousness of crisis, and psychological factors caused…
