- Penny Sartori, who works at Singleton and Morriston Hospitals in Swansea, has 15 accounts, mainly from heart attack patients, of near-death experiences.
They include out-of-body occurrences, reports of a tunnel leading to a bright light and meeting dead loved ones.,,
...She found that people who went through out-of-body experiences floated above themselves and were able to accurately recount what had happened in the room even though they were unconscious and their eyes were closed.
"People also reported travelling down a tunnel towards a bright light," she said.
"Some reported meeting a figure who told them their time had not yet come, and others said they met dead relatives and communicated with them by telepathy."
Some patients reported having their entire lives flash by them in an instant

In another case a patient reported encountering a dead relative who gave a message to pass on to another member of the family who was still alive.
Ms Sartori said the information had stunned the receiver because it had been a secret and it was impossible the patient had prior knowledge of it.

- Nurse writes book on near-death
An intensive care nurse from Swansea has published an academic book about near death experiences following 10 years of research.
From the page: In another case a patient reported encountering a dead relative who gave a message to pass on to another member of the family who was still alive.
Ms Sartori said the information had stunned the receiver because it had been a secret and it was impossible the patient had prior knowledge of it.
Near-death experiences were typically often explained away as the effect of endorphins, abnormal blood gases or low oxygen levels, she said.
However, the study measured these and took them into account when researching the patients' reports.
All the current sceptical arguments against near-death experiences were not supported by the research, she said.
In one case a critically-ill patient, who also had cerebral palsy, awoke from a near-death experience able to use his right arm normally, even though it had been bent and contracted since birth.
It shouldn't have been possible without an operation to release his tendons, but he could open his arm freely, said Ms Sartori.
