Zusammenfassung: | Summary
Near‐death experience (NDE) is a complex subjective experience, which may include affective elements such as a sense of peacefulness, paranormal components such as a sensation of floating out of the body, and a perception of being in a dark tunnel and seeing a brilliant light. It is usually reported to occur in association with a wide range of life‐threatening situations, as for instance, cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We report on an episode of NDE that occurred in a 12‐year‐old boy who underwent a general anesthesia for an elective uncomplicated surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first case of NDE in a child that has been reported in this context. |
