Aunque aparece en un texto filosófico, busco un término lo más científico o médico posible.

El texto dice:

near-death experience
■ noun an unusual experience taking place on the brink of death and recounted by a person on recovery, typically an out-of-body experience or a vision of a tunnel of light

near-death experience

Mystical or transcendent experience reported by people who have been on the threshold of death.

The near-death experience varies with each individual, but characteristics frequently include hearing oneself declared dead, feelings of peacefulness, the sense of leaving one's body, the sense of moving through a dark tunnel toward a bright light, a life review, the crossing of a border, and meetings with other spiritual beings, often deceased friends and relatives. Near-death experiences are reported by about one-third of those who come close to death. Cultural and physiological explanations have been offered, but the causes remain uncertain. Typical aftereffects include greater spirituality and decreased fear of death.

agree  jack_speak: Enrique, PLEASE include the hyphen: near-death experience. It is NOT "near death experience." The hyphen is essential. Otherwise, Carlos, I completely agree. There's no other way to say it.
