•1. Age > 18 of age; < 85 years of age
•2. Participants with a neuromuscular disorder who:
•a. Require 24 hour mechanical ventilation in some form through tracheostomy, mask or mouth piece
•b. Can be ambulatory for at least a few hours during the day while using a heat and moisture exchange device (HME) or no humidification
•c. Can part of the day use a heated pass-over humidification system while on their ventilator (overnight, for example).
•3. Able to provide feedback/articulate via some form of communication
•4. Patients using a Trilogy ventilator
•5. Invasively ventilated patients that are willing to use a HME device on their way to participate in the study (from home to hospital).
•6. 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).

•1. Clinically unstable, i.e.,
•a. Acute respiratory failure
•b. Participants with hypotension (defined as systolic blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg despite inotropic agents)
•c. Uncontrolled cardiac ischemia or arrhythmias
•d. Any participant determined as inappropriate for the study by the Principal Investigator
