06/01/2014 - "Studies of aerosol deposition in altered gravity have mostly been performed in humans during parabolic flights in both microgravity (μG) and hypergravity (~1.6G), where both total deposition during continuous aerosol mouth breathing and regional deposition using aerosol bolus inhalations were performed with 0.5- to 3-μm particles. "
01/01/2023 - "The particle reduction efficiency (%) depended on the position beneath the LVS, but the percentage was consistently high at the LVS center as follows: (1) > 98% particle reduction relative to background aerosols; (2) > 97% in the manikin's breathing zone relative to background aerosols; (3) > 97% during mouth breathing and coughing simulation; and (4) > 97% with a plexiglass barrier installation. "
11/13/2019 - "Additionally, the convention is based primarily on mouth breathing data and aerosols with aerodynamic diameters smaller than 100 µm. "
03/01/2015 - "Nasal breathing for aerosol delivery to the "LRT" is similar to, or more efficient than, mouth breathing in infant/toddler models, contrary to what is observed in older children and adults. "
08/01/2011 - "Addition of measured mass, surface area, or particle count from aerosol collected by sampler pairs in agreement with convention can be used to estimate dose (prior to clearance) at a particular locus in the mean over breathing conditions ranging from sitting, to light, or to heavy exercise, normal or mouth breathing, and male or female, with aerosol density effects partially corrected automatically by the separate aerodynamic and thermodynamic sampling.

Therapies and Procedures

1. Myofunctional Therapy
2. Adenoidectomy
3. General Anesthesia
01/01/2001 - "These results suggest that assessment of the preoperative breathing status is helpful in predicting postoperative respiratory function after IMF and indicate that patients with preoperative mouth breathing require greater respiratory care after general anesthesia with IMF."
01/01/2023 - "Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of preconditioning with nasal splint and mouth-breathing training on prevention of ED after general anesthesia. "
05/01/2005 - "Mouth breathing was induced by surgical ligation of nostrils under general anesthesia. "
03/01/2008 - "A total of 125 patients (67 boys, 58 girls; mean age 4.8+/-2.4 years; range 2 to 15 years) underwent endoscopic adenoidectomy under general anesthesia for one or more of the following complaints: nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, snoring, loss of appetite, slower development than peers, and decreased hearing. "
01/01/2020 - "This technique can help improve oxygenation and ventilation in clinical situations in which the conventional use of NPAs is ineffective, such as in patients who have findings of obesity; mandibular retrognathia or hypoplasia; maxillary hypoplasia; macroglossia; nasal obstruction secondary to hypertrophic tonsillar, adenoid, and/or lymphoid tissues or nasal polyps; known unusual nasal anatomy (eg, septal deviation); high risk of prolonged epistaxis (eg, patients on anticoagulants); or those who demonstrate mouth-breathing behaviors during deep sedation/nonintubated general anesthesia.
