Multiple benefits of oxygen therapy for hypoxemic patients with chronic lung disease are well established. Steady flow oxygen therapy is inefficient, wasteful and has a high cost. The Oxymizer pendant improves efficiency of oxygen delivery compared with SF. However, the device requires that the patient inhale and exhale nasally to maximize its oxygen-saving properties. When patients do PLB they may not receive full oxygen-saving benefit of the pendant. Yet PLB itself can increase SaO2. We evaluated an AP, which does not require nasal exhalation, in nine patients with COPD. We measured SaO2 while breathing oxygen via SF and the AP with nasal-only breathing and PLB. Results indicate that the AP maintains an increase in SaO2 over SF during nasal-only breathing and a further increase during PLB. We conclude that AP acts as an oxygen conserver during PLB; PLB with the AP achieves greater savings than with nasal-only breathing.

Face cups form a vital component of breathing, assisting with devices that aid in artificial breathing for neonates. This study aims to evaluate the flow parameters in the nasal cavity for two different types of face cups. The neonatal nasal cavity model was developed from CT scans using MIMICS 21.

Preclinical and human physiological studies indicate that topical, selective TASK 1/3 K channel antagonism increases upper airway dilator muscle activity and reduces pharyngeal collapsibility during anesthesia and nasal breathing during sleep. The primary aim of this study was to determine the effects of BAY2586116 nasal spray on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity and whether individual responses vary according to differences in physiological responses and route of breathing. Ten people (5 females) with OSA [apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) = 47 ± 26 events/h (means ± SD)] who completed previous sleep physiology studies with BAY2586116 were invited to return for three polysomnography studies to quantify OSA severity.

Low-intensity endurance training is frequently performed at gradually higher training intensities than intended, resulting in a shift towards threshold training. By restricting oral breathing and only allowing for nasal breathing this shift might be reduced. Nineteen physically healthy adults (3 females, age: 26.

Purpose: It is known that oronasal masks are not as effective at opening the upper airway compared to nasal only continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks in patients with sleep-disordered breathing. However, the physiological mechanism for this difference in efficacy is not known; although, it has been hypothesized to involve the retroglossal and/or retropalatal region of the upper airway. The objective of this study was to investigate differences in retroglossal and retropalatal anterior-posterior space with the use of oronasal vs.

Method: Ten healthy adults, 18–45 years of age, performed a variety of speaking tasks while nasal ram pressure, audio, and video recordings were obtained. Inspirations were categorized as nasal-only, oral-only, simultaneous nasal and oral, or alternating nasal and oral inspiration.
