The primary outcome of the trial focused on ventilator-free days at five days after randomization. Surprisingly, not many patients ended up being intubated in either the standard of care or ECOR group, with a notable numerical increase in ventilator-free days with ECOR compared to standard care, although this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.21).
