Any surgical procedure carries the risk of infection. A life support machine like a dialyses machine or a heart-lung machine involves intrusion in the body, which can cause infection that could result in death. An Iron Lung, which is almost never used now days, was a life support machine for polio victims. It was just a pressurized container so it didn't carry the risk of infection.

if you're on life support, you're pretty much already dead. They put you on life support because your brain is dead.
