Summary

This observational study aims to describe the incidence of near-death experience (NDE) in patients who survived a critical illness. In order to help determine the potential risk factors of NDE, dissociative status and spirituality are also investigated. Finally, in patients who experienced NDE, a magnetic resonance imaging is performed to search for any structural modifications.
