Saved by the bell is an old term that came around before medicine was as advanced as it is today. Some people would request to be buried with a string attached to their wrist that led to the surface and was attached to a bell so if they came to in their coffin they could ring the bell. So basically saved by the bell used to literally meant saved by the bell, but since people dont get buried alive much more it means getting out of a tough situation by a bell ringing or something similar.
I think this is a common but incorrect history of this phrase — most credible sources would say that it comes from boxing, where a boxer being badly beaten and in danger of losing is ‘saved by the bell’ ending the round. There was nothing to connect it to bells on coffins at the time we had bells on coffins — it is a modern reinterpretation
