We'll never know, but kinda sucks to have that question hanging in the air, doesn't it.

It's possible, yes. Their only hope would have been that she'd noticed the lack of breathing within the first couple of minutes, and the doctor had been alerted to start CPR, awaiting the arrival of an ambulance.
Really, though, the "what ifs" make it impossible to know for sure- and it's ridiculous for paranoia to prevail when we don't yet know exactly what caused the problem in the first place.
The thing that does bother me in general, however, is that there was not even a blood pressure cuff in the facility, let alone a heart monitor.
