Julian A NDE

Experience Description

They were performing an angioplasty on me and they had entered via radial. I was feeling an intense pain in my chest and I was feeling the movement of the guide of the angioplasty in my whole arm and chest. I felt that it was better to relax in order not to feel the pain. Suddenly, I feel a sensation like zapping, and, as if somebody had changed the channel, I was in a place poorly lit with light in the background. There were people but I couldn't precisely tell who they were; it was like a reunion. I was feeling a calm and deep peace, and no pain. I was close to some people but, and I repeat, I didn't know who they were. Sharply, they took me out of there, and again, as if someone had changed the channel, I see the cardiologist doing the external cardiac massage.

To tell you the truth, I got scared there and I realized that I had had a cardiac arrest and I asked the doctor. I really consider myself very fortunate to have a second chance in this life.

At the time of your experience, was there an associated life-threatening event? Yes Heart attack Clinical death (cessation of breathing or heart function or brain function) Para cardio respiratorio durante una angioplastia. Asistolia que revirtio con una RCP y administracion de atropina y sali del paro cardiaco. The cardiologist that was performing the angioplasty told me that I had suffered a systole, or a cardiac arrest, and that he started to reanimate me immediately.
