One in five patients had ‘lucid experience of dying’ during CPR, researchers say
Patients report 'awareness without distress' in the first large study to capture such experiences

The US study found that the lucid experiences of death occurred in nearly 20% of patient survivors while they were seemingly unconscious and dying.
