Dr. Zemmar didn't set out to change the way people think about death. The now-University of Louisville neurosurgeon wanted to save his patient's life at the time. The 87-year-old man had taken a fall and needed treatment for a subdural hematoma. The patient had a successful operation to remove the clotting. Zemmar and his team attached an electrical device to the man's head. The patient went into cardiac arrest and died. The University of Louisville Health plans to build a 9-story tower. Zemmar recently published a study about the brain scans which showed brain activity consistent with memory recall through the death process. He and his team studied 900 seconds of the patient's neural activity, focusing on the 30 seconds before and after the heart stopped. The results indicated a dying person may see replays of memorable life moments as they die. When we die, what happens when we die? When do humans die? The patient of Zemmar died in 2016 but the study was published last month. He said that he was very cautious and hesitant as a scientist and that it took so long to publish. He couldn't find any similar data sets to include in the study. He and his team decided that it was important to inform society. The opportunity presented by the patient was very rare. Zemmar said it was impossible to predict the moment of death for healthy people. If there are no seizure concerns, it's not standard to attach an EEG. No healthy human will sign up for me and say, "I need to put the EEG on my head so I can die in five minutes." Potential future study participants should be aware of those who come to a hospital with serious injuries or who are dying. Predicting time of death and getting an EEG is still difficult. This is what makes this case so difficult to capture and so unique that we have one, said Zemmar, who also referenced an earlier study on rats that showed brain wave patterns similar to those of healthy humans during memory. Zemmar said the brain may be playing a last recall of important life events similar to the ones reported in near-death experiences. Zemmar said it wasn't clear whether or not those important memories are positive or negative. I would like to think that before we die, we have a recollection of some of the most memorable moments in our lives. He said that these can include some sad moments. I was sad when he died, but it will be one of the highlights of my life. I don't think the sad is always bad. Zemmar said that the memories we may see in death are likely pre-programmed in our minds as a way of escorting us through the process. He said that the brain is a prediction machine. It runs things in the body with no conscious effort. I would be inclined to think that if the brain understands or enters the sphere of knowing, there is no survival. He said that there was hope for people who were losing a loved one. It gives me comfort, and if it gives comfort to my patients as well, I think that is a nice thing to give them. Films often depict death as the moment the heart stops and the line on the monitor falls. That may not be accurate. The brain can be active for 30 seconds after the heart stops. Zemmar said that this may not have any big implications for organ donation because you won't be able to remove the organs in 30 seconds. It may mean a deeper understanding of the 30 seconds after the heart stops and the need to give a person space to replay those memories before pronouncing them dead. More deaths than births is a Kentucky trend. My proposal is that we should have a trial to see if we should use the one that we already have. Zemmar said there was no pain involved in using either machine. It is easier to read the EKG than the EEG. If monitoring the brain to determine death became a standard, he said, you would need to hire a lot more people who would be able to do this. Zemmar said it was a big enough question for mankind to say when do we die. The Before I Die Festival and a program manager at the University of Louisville Trager Institute have hosted death cafes. He said that these are places for people to talk about death and dying, in which people share and express all kinds of emotions. The biggest thought that people express is curiosity. He said that there are a lot of superstitions getting in the way of talking about death. There is a sense of mystery to it, he said. A teen found a group to help youths with mental health issues. Near-death experiences can vary. Magnuson said he heard from a person who was clinically dead for a while. He said that this person had a typical experience where he saw something that gave him comfort and he felt like he was not alone. While in a coma, another person saw nothing but darkness. He said that his grandmother was talking to his great grandfather the week before she died. My grandmother was talking to him. He didn't ask if it made her feel better to talk to her father. Magnuson said he had many conversations with people near the end of their lives. Some people spend time reflecting on positive memories from life, while others need to clear the air around a conflict or make a confession. He said that he had heard them express regrets. The study led by Zemmar's team opened up many more questions for Magnuson, such as when should the person stop giving me cardiopulmonary assist and just hold my hand? There is evidence of life after death. Future studies can address many questions. He said that it was good science. The story deals with death and dying.
