Usage Note
Reanimar means to bring someone back to consciousness or to restore vitality, used in both medical contexts (reanimar a un paciente) and figurative ones (reanimar la economía). The reflexive reanimarse means 'to recover, to perk up.' In non-medical figurative use it overlaps with reactivar, but in first-aid contexts reanimar is the standard term.
Examples
"Los médicos intentaron reanimar al paciente."
Natural Translation
The doctors tried to revive the patient.
