80% died and it increased survival rate by 3x? Meaning otherwise 93%+ of vented patients didn’t make it? Didn’t realize the number was that high, sounds off.
The study was done in one hospital, last spring/summer, with an average age over 65 and I think every patient had a comorbidity. It also didn't raise it 3x, more like 2x. There's some broken telephone between the study, the article, and the article on the article.
