Near-death impression
The monitor confirmed cardiac arrest as an elderly man suddenly lost consciousness. After about 20 seconds of resuscitation, he came to. Explaining to him that his heart had momentarily stopped, I asked if he remembered anything unusual during that time.
"I saw a bright light," he said, "and in front of me a man dressed in white."
Zeroing in on this near-death impression, I inquired if he could describe the figure.
"Sure, doctor," he replied. “It was you.”
I've heard of "near-death experience", but what does "near-death impression" mean?

You're right; "near-death experience" is the usual phrase. I suppose "impression" refers to what that elderly man saw during that brief moment when his heart stopped working.
