Probably almost all near-death studies are done with consent. I would give it. Resuscitation is very algorithmic and it’s unlikely that the medic doing it will be distracted by someone working in that space. The physical work is hard, the mental load is not that high after proper training, which often aims to make the work feel automatic. It might look chaotic, but the reasons resuscitation teams call instructions and observations out isn’t because they’re coming up with a treatment plan on the spot like in some TV shows. It’s just the algorithm. I also think it’s good and brave to explore this area. Near-death experience research is stigmatized in medicine. Many academics dismiss it as parapsychology and pseudoscience. I think this is touched on in the article.
