Flatline definition
: to register on an electronic monitor as having no brain waves or heartbeat
It almost always refers to either a flatlined electrocardiogram, where the heart shows no electrical activity , or to a flat electroencephalogram, in which the brain shows no electrical activity.
: to die or be so near death that the display of one's vital signs on medical monitoring equipment shows a flat line rather than peaks and troughs
One who has flatlined is to be clinically dead, regardless of eventual resuscitation or lack thereof, whereas others insist that one is alive until the moment of brain death.
: dead (from the flat line on the heart monitor of the patient when there is no heart activity, meaning that they have died or their heart has stopped
It is an electrical time sequence measurement that shows no activity and therefore when represented, shows a flat line instead of a moving one.
Medical, technical, I don't know what that means.
But...
Do I know anyone who has "flatlined"?
Do I know anyone who has "flatlined" and "got back"?
Do I know anyone who has "flatlined" and "got back" and shared what happened?
Do I know anyone who has "flatlined" and "got back" and shared what happened... twice?
I do...
We have heard blessed people who have flatlined and got back. It was a miracle.
These people have shared their stories.
There was a light...
A tunnel...
They were floating...
Their whole life flashed before them... Their past successes and failures. Their past and present relationships. Their past journey up to where they are now.
It was a beautiful and fearful experience.
I interviewed a person who flatlined and got back. Here is his vivid experience:
