Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age \> 18 of age; \< 85 years of age
  • Participants with a neuromuscular disorder who:
  • Require 24 hour mechanical ventilation in some form through tracheostomy, mask or mouth piece
  • Can be ambulatory for at least a few hours during the day while using a heat and moisture exchange device (HME) or no humidification
  • Can part of the day use a heated pass-over humidification system while on their ventilator (overnight, for example).
  • Able to provide feedback/articulate via some form of communication
  • Patients using a Trilogy ventilator
  • Invasively ventilated patients that are willing to use a HME device on their way to participate in the study (from home to hospital).
  • Patients that are willing to participate and are able to consent and sign the informed consent form. (Patients with the functional capacity for medical decision-making).

Exclusion

  • Clinically unstable, i.e.,
  • Acute respiratory failure
  • Participants with refractory hypotension (defined as systolic blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg despite inotropic agents)
  • Uncontrolled cardiac ischemia or arrhythmias
  • Any participant determined as inappropriate for the study by the Principal Investigator
  • Patients suffering from metastatic or terminal cancer
  • Patients lacking the functional capacity for medical decision-making.
