"Near-death" experiences. Obviously, they didn't actually die when their heart stopped. At least, it should be obvious.
It seems dangerous that some of this is tainted by mysticism. That sort of thing will make doctors less likely to take it seriously and some patients who could still have been revived will not be. Or there might be possibilities for new approaches that weren't considered before.

It's obvious framed that way because it's a tautology that removes the possibility of reviving (restore to life), by framing it as impossible. Life, if truly and fully gone, cannot be restored; therefore any life that appears to have been restored must be an illusion. E.g. Max in "A Princess Bride:" "He's only mostly dead."
