Life Support

Life support techniques can keep you alive until your body is functioning again. Life support replaces or supports a failing organ. Life support procedures include mechanical breathing (ventilation), CPR, tube feeding, dialysis and more. The decision to start, decline or stop life support is deeply personal.

    17.32 - I was on life support for awhile. I was in a severe auto accident. Care flight, coma, life support, hospital stay of 4.5 months then intensive in-pantient rehab to relearn how to walk and memory support for the TBI I sustained.
