Elevated peak inspiratory pressures (PIPs) cause harm via hypoventilation, barotrauma, and hemodynamic instability. Heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs) are used during mechanical ventilation to prevent heat loss, dehydration of airway mucosa, and accumulation of dried secretions. Multiple reports detail sudden HME occlusions causing increased PIPs. We describe 4 cases of gradually increasing PIPs from progressive HME obstruction that occurred within 6 months of an institutional change to a newer model. HME obstruction should be co
