Small percentage is right. Out of 2060 interviewed, only 2 cardiac arrest patients had such recall, and only one of those two was verified for accuracy.
Correction. 140 were interviewed. That's 1.4%.
Quote:Both were contacted for further in-depth interviews to verify their experiences against documented CA events. One was unable to follow up due to ill health. The other, a 57 year old man described the perception of observing events from the top corner of the room and continued to experience a sensation of looking down from above. He accurately described people, sounds, and activities from his resuscitation.
So, ultimately only one patient was verified to have accurate recall.
