Not 100%.
It may help, but I am thinking of it this way. If it is a blockage or occlusion of the heart, the O2 might make it easier to get additional, well, O2 to her heart.
Also, if she was only able to breathe a little, the O2 would make it so that little might be enough. But it depends on if her lungs were filling with fluid, or having swelling due to an allergic reaction, or something else.
I am not excusing the airlines for this, but this could make the difference between denial of a service and incidental manslaughter (negligence).
