A Massachusetts woman survived a near-fatal flu complication thanks to a mobile ECMO machine and intensive care.
Krystal Delong, a 45-year-old Massachusetts mother, survived a near-fatal flu complication that led to staph pneumonia, respiratory failure, and a months-long coma.
After her condition worsened at Lowell General Hospital, a mobile ECMO machine—a portable life-support system—was brought to her bedside, stabilizing her for an airlift to Tufts Medical Center.
She endured severe complications, including cardiac arrest and nearly 30 blood transfusions, but regained consciousness after two and a half months in the ICU.
Now recovering in Illinois, she is breathing on her own and continues rehabilitation.
Doctors call her recovery one of the most remarkable ECMO cases they’ve seen.
