Question

Is there anyone who was medically declared dead for a while but was managed to be brought back?

Answer 1

It happens. Sometimes in non-hospital settings where people must rely on their observations of breathing and pulses it happens.  Very rare in developed countries if the patient is in a hospital hooked up to monitors.  I've routinely go to resusitations. Sometimes the equipment says your heart has stopped but a pulse can be felt.  That usually means the equipment is failing or there is user error.  As a good md you don't rely completely on equipment.  You have to assess if the patient is really dead.  But, sometimes even that is difficult. The result is that it is possible-and has happened-that people are declared dead and then they start moving around later.  Think about it.  How do you determine if someone is dead?  Most people have never seen a dead body up close(except at funerals).  Many would not know how to check.  That's why medical personell must determine when someone is dead.  The average person would get it wrong.   Years ago in the US people would occasionally sit up during their funeral because everyone thought their coma was death.

Now, once you are embalmed that it.  Your either dead or one of the undead.

Answer 2

I guess it could happen, although I have never heard of it happening.  I have seen people who do not have a pulse or are not breathing brought back through resuscitation.  If you count that.  But your question sounds as if you are asking about someone who resuscitation was attempted on and then they were pronounced, and then they were found to be alive.  I have never seen this.  

All of the people I have seen die during resuscitation were usually dead before they hit our door, and if they weren't it became quite obvious that they had passed on during the time we were working on them.  I am sure that in less modern countries it does happen, as medical personnel do not have the technology that we do here in America.
