Abstract:
:As the route of breathing and use of airway apparatus such as mask, mouthpiece and noseclip can alter breathing pattern, this study has used the helium dilution method to estimate the effects of mouthpiece and mask breathing on functional residual capacity (FRC) in the supine position, and the change in FRC that occurs between the sitting and supine positions while breathing by mouthpiece. In 13 normal subjects, breathing by mouthpiece, FRC was smaller, by a median of 1.07 litre (interquartile values 0.73-1.43 litre) in the supine compared with the sitting position (P < 0.01), but residual volume (RV) did not change significantly. FRC measured in the supine position was significantly greater when breathing by mask than by mouthpiece (0.25, 0.04-0.38 litre) and RV was greater by similar amounts (0.20, -0.02 to 0.49 litre). This difference may result from increased inspiratory activity while breathing via the mask.
