Resuscitation

Resuscitation was the revival of someone from unconsciousness, or, in rare cases, death.

In 2259 of the alternate reality, Leonard McCoy used Khan Noonien Singh's blood to revive a dead tribble, and then James T. Kirk, who had died from radiation poisoning after reactivating the USS Enterprise's warp core. (Star Trek Into Darkness)

In 2267, Leonard McCoy was killed by a knight's lance, in an environment that created reality from people's thoughts. McCoy's resurrection was brought about by the power which created the knight in the first place, after Kirk realized what was occurring. (TOS: "Shore Leave")

In the same year, Montgomery Scott was killed by the Nomad probe. Nomad subsequently "repaired the unit Scott". (TOS: "The Changeling")

When a young boy on Amerind was unconscious due to water inhalation, James T. Kirk managed to resuscitate him. Seeing as the Amerind inhabitants believed the boy to be dead prior to his resuscitation, they mistook Kirk for a deity. (TOS: "The Paradise Syndrome")

In 2285, Spock experienced death, but with his katra having been placed into Leonard McCoy and his body regenerated on the Genesis Planet, he was able to live again. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)

Tasha Yar killed Yareena with a poisoned, spiked weapon. Dr. Crusher revived her. (TNG: "Code of Honor")

When Beverly Crusher found Clare Raymond, Ralph Offenhouse and L.Q. Clemonds frozen in cryogenic stasis, they were dead, but she was able to resuscitate them. Upon awakening, Raymond briefly went unconscious but was able to be resuscitated again. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")

Data noted that his off-switch provided for an experience comparable to death, albeit one that permitted a simple resurrection. (TNG: "The Schizoid Man")

When Deanna Troi was under the effects of Ves Alkar's telepathic influence that was making her emotional, violent and causing her to age rapidly, Beverly Crusher saved her by killing her and then resuscitating her. (TNG: "Man Of The People")

In 2369, upon his death, Kobliad criminal Rao Vantika transferred his consciousness to Doctor Julian Bashir and continued living in Bashir. (DS9: "The Passenger")

Prior to Neelix in 2374, nobody had ever been medically resuscitated eighteen hours after death, though according to Seven of Nine, the Borg had reactivated Borg drones as long as seventy-three hours after what would be called death. Species 149 were medically advanced and had the ability to reanimate the dead. They were assimilated by the Borg, allowing the Borg to reanimate a drone as much as 73 hours after death. Neelix was also brought back from being dead using this technique after Seven of Nine proposed it as a medical treatment, but as his death did not match his culture's beliefs regarding an afterlife, he was profoundly disturbed by the experience. (VOY: "Mortal Coil")

The Kobali were capable of reanimating dead lifeforms in order to procreate their species, however the reanimated corpse would have a limited memory of his or her true life. (VOY: "Ashes to Ashes")

Ensign Brad Boimler suffered this three times in 2381. In the first instance, Boimler nearly drowned when his space suit was punctured and filled with water trying to open the manual release to a plate on the USS Cerritos within Cetacean Ops, but is able to be revived. He would mention having a vision of a koala in his near-death state. Later on, he would suffer from dehydration and pass out brought about by his grief for the death of his Transporter duplicate William Boimler. When he came to, he learned from Dr. T'Ana that he had been clinically dead. He was, then, killed when the relay station he was in exploded when he shut it down and was flung out to his away crew to their horror. He would once against meet the koala, who told him it wasn't his time, before T'Ana revived him. Upon learning that this would be the first of many deaths, he passed out again, forcing an annoyed T'Ana to demand more of whatever they used to revive him (LD: "First First Contact", "Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus", "In the Cradle of Vexilon")
