The Lazarus Phenomenon

The Lazarus phenomenon or the unassisted return of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest is a largely underreported phenomenon in medical literature which essentially implies the ‘resurrection’ of an individual after cardiac arrest.
 Because of the presumed infrequency of this condition, there are no studies specifically researching Lazarus phenomenon in scientific literature. This review intends to systematically present current and past knowledge on this rare phenomenon.
