Objective truth about reality may be unattainable, but we can strive to get closer by continually refining our beliefs and perspectives in line with the best available scientific evidence and consensus.
Ventilators did not directly cause deaths; complications like unresolved VAP were key factors. The study highlights that effective treatment of VAP is crucial in reducing mortality in ventilated patients.

Longer mechanical ventilation increased the risk of VAP, which subsequently raised mortality rates. COVID-19 patients needed longer ventilation on average due to severe respiratory failure, leading to higher VAP risk and mortality.

The study was not focused solely on COVID-19; only 190 out of 585 patients had the disease. The research examined ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in mechanically ventilated patients with severe pneumonia, emphasizing the risks related to prolonged ventilation.
