The question of whether anyone has ever woken up during an autopsy has been asked by many over the years. Autopsies are performed to determine the cause of death for a deceased individual and are usually performed without any signs of life present. However, there have been rare cases in which a person may have regained consciousness during an autopsy.
Resuscitation
Resuscitation is the act of restoring someone who appears to be dead back to life. This is often done through cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), a combination of chest compressions and rescue breaths. It is possible for someone to be resuscitated after an autopsy has started, but it is highly unlikely due to the invasive nature of the procedure.
Failed Autopsies
There have been reported cases of people who have been resuscitated after an autopsy had started. In rare cases, the person being autopsied may appear to be dead but is actually in a deep coma or has an undetected heartbeat. In such cases, the autopsy may have to be stopped and the person resuscitated.
Conclusion
It is possible for someone to wake up during an autopsy, but such cases are extremely rare. Furthermore, the person in question would likely have to be resuscitated after the procedure has started. It is important to remember that autopsies are performed only on deceased individuals, and resuscitation is not normally an option.
