In a study of people's awareness during resuscitation, more than a third who survived the process reported some kind of memory of CPR, along with more unusual experiences such as hearing the voice of a dead relative.
About 4 in 10 people who survive resuscitation after a cardiac arrest seem to have had some kind of awareness during the process, perhaps due to blood returning to the brain – and this might be why people sometimes report strange visions afterwards, known as near-death experiences.
As a result, some doctors now say that people having cardiopulmonary resuscitation may need to be given sedative drugs, to avoid any pain or distress.
