Study Summary

This is a study to evaluate whether PEEP adjusted by use of an esophageal balloon to overcome negative transpulmonary pressure; or adjusted by use of "CStat" to achieve the best effective static compliance will have any effect on outcomes with respect to ventilator weaning in tracheotomized morbidly obese patients (BMI \>=40) with at least one failed prior weaning attempt.

Primary Outcome

A patient was considered successfully weaned and "ventilator independent" if they were spontaneously breathing without ventilator support for at least 24 hours, and remained off the ventilator by day 30. If ventilator support was subsequently required, the patient was returned to their original group and considered not weaned. The patients were considered to be weaned or not, after a period of thirty days.
