The central clinical relevance of near-death experiences in acute care contexts: identification, prediction, and management

Frontiers in Psychology July 22, 2025 Pascal Michael, Pauline Fritz, Olivia Gosseries et al. 1 citation

Near-death experiences (NDEs), which involve mystical-type content during life-threatening situations, are not well studied in acute medical care. This article argues for more comprehensive NDE research in emergency and critical care settings, citing reasons such as experiencers' awareness of surroundings and the need for patient support due to NDEs' profound psychological impacts. The authors suggest incorporating identification of NDEs into management plans and propose that exploring NDE incidence and their subsequent impact in acute settings may lead to favorable clinical outcomes.
