'I was told my chances of survival were very small - nobody expected me to live', says mother Nicoleta Tuna
A mother who fell extremely ill with COVID-19 while pregnant and spent nearly four months in a medically induced coma has returned home to her baby daughter after more than a year in hospital.
Speaking about her ordeal, much of it spent on a life support machine, Nicoleta Tuna revealed how nobody had expected her to survive. The 30-year-old Romanian spent so long in hospital she learned to speak English while on the ward and now counts staff as her"second family".coronavirusHer condition deteriorated rapidly and she was admitted to Colchester Hospital where her daughter Thea was delivered by emergency Caesarean.
She was then placed in a medically induced coma and in November 2021 was transferred to Royal Papworth Hospital, a specialist heart and lung hospital in Cambridge, for advanced care. Ms Tuna spent 299 days on a specialist intensive care life support machine which pumps oxygen into a patient's blood, allowing the lungs to rest.

Excess deaths by sex and Age Group in the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States - Health Care Management ScienceThe COVID-19 pandemic hastened hundreds of thousands of deaths in the United States. Many of these excess deaths are directly attributed to COVID-19, but others stem from the pandemic’s social, economic, and health care system disruptions. This study compares provisional mortality data for age and sex subgroups across different time windows, with and without COVID-19 deaths, and assesses whether mortality risks are returning to pre-pandemic levels. Using provisional mortality reports from the CDC, we compute mortality risks for 22 age and sex subgroups in 2021 and compare against 2015–2019 using odds ratios. We repeat this comparison for the first twelve full months of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States (April 2020–March 2021) against the next twelve full months (April 2021–March 2022). Mortality risks for most subgroups were significantly higher in 2021 than in 2015–2019, both with and without deaths involving COVID-19. For ages 25–54, Year 2 (April 2021–March 2022) was more fatal than Year 1 (April 2020–March 2021), whereas total mortality risks for the 65 + age groups declined. Given so many displaced deaths in the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, mortality risks in the next few years may fall below pre-pandemic levels. Provisional mortality data suggest this is already happening for the 75 + age groups when excluding COVID-19 deaths.
