What about the electrolytes in the blood (including sodium and potassium) still helping to carry an existing electrical charge, even if the heart had stopped.
The reference to a continuing arterial blood circulation doesn’t make any sense so I’ll need somebody to interpret.
When I went into a slow cardiac arrest (took about 30 minutes before I croaked, right in front of the hospital and doctor), they hit me twice with the defibrillator which restarted my heart but their biggest problem was getting a breathing tube properly down my throat to get oxygen into my lungs and a restarting blood circulation.
Doctors still don’t know what did me in but they think it was a rare chemical imbalance of the body’s salt that directly stopped the heart. After two comas, pneumonia, an awful back rash and 50+ brain seizures, I awoke and thought “What the hell happened” though I knew I was in a hospital.
My heart’s been fine since they restarted it. Can’t say the same for my wallet.
Sorry, no lights, tunnels, angels, relatives or debt collectors.
Just glad to be back from “the other side”, Dr. Venkman.
Glad you are still with us! I think that when blood pressure goes to zero then the electrolytes stop being delivered to cells. How long does nearby blood supply electrolytes? I do not know.
Oh that's a bad sign. 8>) (Yes I'm kidding) Glad you are still among the living.
Do you believe in God?

It wouldn’t be carried anywhere- as the body’s systems have shut down- it’s not like it would be circulating- perhaps a little woudl be aroudn hte brain and perhaps affect that part for a little while-
I did have an NDE- peritonitis- high fever, convulsions- etc- went to hell (don’t tell me to go there- already been)- My own personal uneducated belief is that these NDE visions are misfiring synapses, or synapses gone haywire, right at point of death- but things I saw in my mind’s eye about hell i wasn’t aware of before hand ... that i know of- I wasn’t versed in the bible, and certainly never discussed hell with anyone- nor read anything about it that I am aware of— only later did i learn more about hell- and it kinda jived with what I experienced- Butt who knows- perhaps i read something somewhere and just didn’t remember- but lemme tell ya- the experience was absolutely frightening and torturous- it was, well, hell- Dread, panic, fear, hot (probably had something to do with the fever I had)- suffocating enveloped in sand- ants and creepy crawlies all over me- blackness- terrible sounds- screams- smell- there’s more to the story- but briefly- was given a ‘test’ had to count bell sounds- did ok for a bit- but then failed- cried- voice said “- you don’t exist’- then I felt real fear- being completely alone, in space- ‘not existing’ but being aware- having a consciousness- hard to explain really- but that was even more frightening than the ‘hell’ as I was completely alone- in pitch black darkness-
Needless to say it shook me to the core- It was 35 years ago and i can still see everything I went through as though it just happened-
Again- I don’t believe it was an actual physical experience, but rather psychological one brought on by high fever, synapses gone haywire, and near death, lack of oxygen from not breathing- but who knows- All i know is it was something that I had to live with- and it wasn’t pleasant

My thought also. There is still cell to cell communication, not like flipping off a light switch.
You are so lucky, happy to see a full recovery.
Both times that I “died”, the people involved were so scared of being in trouble that they immediately began covering up.
I didn’t see any white light, either.
A friend quoted scripture to me that you actually only “die” once. I can’t remember the exact passage. My memory hasn’t been the same, either.
I am a Christian and I know that one day, “I’ll fly away.”
Potassium imbalance?
