You could say “she was barely alive after the monster attacked her.” The way you say it works also.

You can say:
1) The monster attacked her and she barely survived.
We talk about - surviving an attack.
Surviving means the person ( or animal) that was attacked is alive but barely.
2) She barely survived the monster’s attack.
3) The monster attacked her and she barely made it out alive.
This is another idiom we use - to barely make it out alive.
4) The monster attacked her and nearly killed her.
This means she was barely alive.
5) The monster attacked her and she made it out by the skin of her teeth.
This is another idiom we use for barely surviving something.
6) The monster attacked her and she almost died.
7) The monster attacked her and she was lucky to be alive.
Another idiom for being barely alive.
