This document discusses dysfunctional breathing, including its causes, contributing factors, and dimensions. Dysfunctional breathing results in inefficient or disturbed primary and secondary functions of breathing. It can have biochemical, biomechanical, psycho-physiological, and autonomic nervous system components that overlap. Factors that can contribute to dysfunctional breathing include stress, allostatic load, maladaptive respiratory plasticity, birth trauma, structural issues, hypoxia, hypercapnia, and neuromechanical issues. The definition and understanding of dysfunctional breathing and hyperventilation syndrome has changed over time as research has progressed.
Dysfunctional breathing is characterized by alterations in normal breathing patterns that result in symptoms. It can be classified into types such as hyperventilation syndrome and thoracic dominant breathing. Common symptoms include dyspnea, dizziness, fatigue, and anxiety. Diagnosis involves assessments of breathing motion and tests like capnography. Physiotherapy management focuses on breathing retraining through techniques like pursed lip breathing and relaxation to restore normal diaphragmatic breathing.

Practice distribution Random vs Block practiceMaxi1000000
The document discusses the differences between random and blocked practice and their effects on skill learning and retention. It states that while blocked practice results in better performance during practice, random practice leads to better learning, retention and performance after practice. This is known as the contextual interference effect. Random practice forces learners to reconstruct motor skills from memory, whereas blocked practice allows repetition of the same motor program. As a result, random practice enhances long-term learning despite appearing more difficult initially. The document recommends using random practice for optimal performance, except in early skill stages where blocked practice can build confidence before transitioning to random.

The document discusses oxygen consumption (VO2), including:
1. VO2 is the quantity of oxygen consumed by the body or tissues per minute and can be measured absolutely or relatively.
2. Maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) describes the plateau in oxygen uptake during intense exercise and provides a measure of aerobic capacity.
3. There are two main methods to measure VO2 - closed circuit and open circuit. Open circuit is more practical and involves measuring expired air volume and composition.
4. VO2 is affected by factors like exercise intensity/duration, body mass, and pathological/physiological conditions and can be used to assess exercise capacity and fitness in various populations.
This document discusses the importance of exercise for managing diabetes. It notes that exercise can lower blood sugar, increase insulin sensitivity, reduce medication needs, and even potentially reverse diabetes symptoms. Structured aerobic and resistance exercise just three times per week can lower A1C by an average of 0.67% in three months. The document outlines barriers to exercise and provides seven strategies to overcome them, such as finding enjoyable activities and developing a reasonable exercise plan. It emphasizes setting specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound goals to stay motivated.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is divided into four major classifications: spastic, ataxic, dyskinetic, and mixed. The most common type is spastic CP, which is caused by damage to the pyramidal region and results in hypertonia, increased reflexes, and an abnormal gait. CP can be caused prenatally by factors like prematurity or infection, perinatally by hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy or kernicterus, or postnatally by infection or trauma. Diagnosis involves assessing for signs of abnormal muscle tone and movement, as well as investigations like brain imaging. Treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach including management of spasticity, associated issues like seizures

The document discusses the process of establishing and operating a dairy/milk processing plant. It covers selecting a suitable site near milk production and transportation. It then discusses constructing facilities with proper ventilation and drainage. Equipment is installed for milk collection, processing like pasteurization and separation, producing products like milk, butter, cheese, and their storage and marketing. Key steps involve collecting, processing, producing, and distributing dairy products.
Cows are mainly farmed for their milk, which is taken from the farm by refrigerated tankers and brought to a factory. There, the milk is pasteurized by heating it to 71 degrees Celsius for 15 seconds to kill bacteria before being bottled or packaged for sale. Dairy cows need to have a calf each year to produce milk for human consumption. The calves are either raised as future dairy cows or for beef production.

This document discusses dysfunctional breathing and its effects on physiology and psychology. It covers topics such as:
- Dysfunctional breathing behaviors can compromise respiration, physiology, and psychology through learned habits.
- Conditions like behavioral hypocapnia (low carbon dioxide levels from overbreathing) and hypercapnia (high carbon dioxide levels) can impact pH regulation and health.
- The balance of carbon dioxide, regulated by breathing, and bicarbonate, regulated by the kidneys, work together to maintain the proper acid-base balance in the body as described by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

- The balance of carbon dioxide, regulated by breathing, and bicarbonate, regulated by the kidneys, work together to maintain the proper acid-base balance in the body as described by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
This document discusses how learned dysfunctional breathing behaviors can negatively impact physiology and psychology. Dysfunctional breathing habits that cause hypocapnia (low carbon dioxide levels) are of particular concern as they can disrupt acid-base balance and restrict oxygen delivery to tissues, potentially triggering a wide range of symptoms. Chronic hypocapnia may also have long-term health effects by altering electrolyte levels and protein folding. The document outlines specific breathing behaviors to avoid and provides examples of how hypocapnia can exacerbate existing health issues or trigger "unexplained" symptoms.
Respiratory Physiotherapy for Cerebral PalsyRachaelHinton
This presentation discusses respiratory physiotherapy for patients with cerebral palsy. While cerebral palsy does not directly cause lung issues, impaired motor function can lead to respiratory complications. Physiotherapy aims to prevent mucus buildup through techniques like postural drainage, percussion, and assisted coughing. Assessment is individualized based on factors like age, function, and capacity. The goal is to optimize quality of life through a combination of airway clearance techniques and addressing overall health needs.
Buspirona na disfunção respiratória brain developmentItalo Santana
This case study details a 15-year-old girl with Rett Syndrome who experienced respiratory dysfunction. Her breathing patterns and oxygen saturation levels were monitored before and after receiving buspirone treatment. Before treatment, her average oxygen saturation was 86.9% and she spent over 90% of the time with saturation below 90%. After 5 months of buspirone treatment twice daily, her average saturation improved to 91% and she spent only 52% of the time with saturation below 90%, representing a 42.2% reduction. The improvement in her breathing and oxygen levels suggests buspirone may help treat respiratory issues in Rett Syndrome, though controlled clinical trials are still needed.
The study examined the coordination of breathing and swallowing in 13 healthy subjects aged 4-68 years old. It found that the expiration-expiration respiratory pattern was most common across all ages at 72%. Duration of apneic pause varied significantly based on bolus consistency, being longest for dry swallows and shortest for puree. A quadratic regression model showed duration of apneic pause for thin liquid swallows was most stable between ages 20-50 and more variable for those ages 4-10 and 50-70.
This document discusses pulmonary disorders in the elderly. As people age, the lungs and respiratory system undergo several functional changes that can increase susceptibility to pulmonary diseases. The thoracic cage becomes stiffer due to cartilage calcification. Respiratory muscles like the diaphragm weaken. Lung function declines as lung volumes increase and diffusion capacity decreases. The lungs also lose elasticity and alveolar surface area. These changes can impair ventilation, gas exchange, and clearance of secretions. The respiratory system also exhibits increased airway reactivity, chronic inflammation, and a diminished response to hypoxia with age. As a result, elderly individuals are more prone to respiratory infections and exacerbations of lung diseases.
This document summarizes a presentation on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) given by Dr. Jean-Marc Retrouvey. The presentation defines OSA, discusses its manifestations, describes common patient types, recognizes the difference between OSA and snoring, and suggests treatment approaches. It provides details on quantifying OSA severity using the apnea-hypopnea index and discusses common contributing factors like obesity, allergies, and genetics. The role of orthodontics in treating OSA and potential craniofacial impacts of untreated OSA are also summarized.
Mild hypothermia after neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) may enhance the therapeutic effects of neural stem cell transplantation, according to a study in neonatal HIE mice. The study found lower levels of apoptosis and inflammation in mice that received both neural stem cell transplantation and hypothermia treatment compared to other treatment groups. Transplanted cells also survived and differentiated better with the combined treatment. Mice in this group showed improved functional recovery compared to other groups in sensorimotor and behavioral tests, suggesting hypothermia protects grafted cells and attenuates injury after HIE.
2014 guilleminault towards restoration of continuous nasal breathing as ultim...Claire Ferrari
This document discusses the treatment of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea and aims to establish continuous nasal breathing as the ultimate treatment goal. It reviews how adenotonsillectomy is often an initial treatment but has decreasing long-term benefits, and suggests this may be because normal nasal breathing is not fully restored. The document discusses experimental and clinical evidence that chronic oral breathing can negatively impact craniofacial growth and airway development over time. It proposes that completely treating sleep disordered breathing in children means normalizing nasal breathing during sleep.
This review discusses acute respiratory failure in children. It aims to describe the physiologic peculiarities that make children more vulnerable to respiratory failure compared to adults. Some key points:
1) Acute respiratory failure is common in pediatric intensive care units and is usually caused by lung disease, airway disease, or inadequate respiratory effort.
2) Infant respiratory physiology increases susceptibility due to higher metabolism, immature breathing control, and more collapsible/compliant airways compared to adults.
3) Early recognition of respiratory failure is important through history and physical exam to identify the underlying cause and guide life-saving interventions before cardiopulmonary arrest occurs.

Status epilepticus (SE) is a medical emergency that starts when a seizure hits the 5-minute mark (or if there’s more than one seizure within 5 minutes).
Convulsive Status epilepticus-
The convulsive type is more common and more dangerous.
It involves tonic- clonic seizures (grand mal seizures)
In the tonic phase ( lasts less than 1 minute), body becomes stiff and person lose consciousness. Eyes roll back into head, muscles contract, back arches, and trouble breathing.
As the clonic phase starts, body spasms and jerks occur. Neck and limbs flex and relax rapidly but slow down over a few minutes.
Once the clonic phase ends, patient might stay unconscious for a few more minutes. This is the postictal period.Non-convulsive Status epilepticus-
Patient lose consciousness but is in an “epileptic twilight” state.
There might not able any shaking or seizing at all, so it can be very hard for someone observing patient to figure out what’s happening.
A non-convulsive seizure can turn into a convulsive episode.
Poorly controlled epilepsy
Low blood sugar
Stroke
Kidney failure
Liver failure
Encephalitis
HIV
Alcohol or drug abuse
Genetic diseases such as Fragile X syndrome and Angelman syndrome
Head injuries
An 8-year-old male child presented with a 1-month history of cough, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. He had been previously diagnosed with asthma 2 years prior. His physical exam and tests showed signs consistent with an asthma exacerbation. He was started on medications including inhaled corticosteroids, bronchodilators, and oral steroids to treat his symptoms and prevent future attacks. Nursing care focused on teaching the family about asthma management, medication administration, and when to seek emergency help.
The document discusses the relationship between sleep and academic performance in children and adolescents. It finds that sleep disruption, in terms of both quality and quantity, can have significant negative consequences for cognition, behavior, and health. Specifically, it notes that lack of sleep is associated with impaired memory, emotional regulation, executive function, and academic functioning. Sleep issues like sleep apnea are also linked to cognitive and behavioral problems in children. The document concludes that sleep is important for healthy development and that disruptions may negatively impact brain development and have long-term effects, especially in young children.
This document discusses the relationship between restricted breathing mechanics, airway, and posture. It outlines assessments that should be performed to evaluate the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), cervical spine, breathing, and posture. These include tests of joint range of motion, muscle strength, hypermobility, and breathing efficiency. Restricted breathing is found in many patients and is linked to forward head posture. Correcting breathing mechanics and posture can help resolve TMJ and neck pain by restoring proper joint alignment in the upper body.

- The document discusses a retrospective study of 27 children referred for suspected sleep-disordered breathing who were found to have non-syndromic short lingual frenulums.
- The children showed anatomical changes associated with enlarged tonsils and abnormal orofacial growth. Treatment including tonsillectomy, frenectomy, and orthodontics improved but did not fully resolve abnormal breathing.
- Short lingual frenulums can impair orofacial development early in life by altering tongue position, leading to increased risk of sleep disordered breathing. Early recognition and treatment of short frenulums may improve normal development.
Oxygen insufficeincy and sensory deprivationParbh Jot
The document discusses oxygen insufficiency and sensory deprivation. It defines oxygen insufficiency as a condition where the body or a region is deprived of adequate oxygen supply. Causes include decreased hemoglobin, altitude, tissue oxygen extraction issues, and impaired ventilation. Symptoms include cyanosis, altered breathing, and fatigue. Nursing assessments focus on respiratory status and signs of hypoxia. Oxygen therapy is the primary treatment. Sensory deprivation occurs when a person experiences decreased meaningful stimuli and can affect physical, cognitive, and emotional functioning. At-risk groups include those with sensory impairments or in long-term care. Preventing deprivation involves promoting healthy sensory stimulation.

It also discusses treating conditions like UARS, LPR, and OSA with therapies like CPAP, OAT, MMA, and MFT. The document lists potential medical sequelae that can result from untreated airway and breathing issues, such as bruxism, anxiety, depression, fatigue, nocturia, hypertension, cognitive impairment, reflux, cough, asthma, mood swings, infertility, and more.
This document discusses airway and facial development, evolution, and how environmental stressors can lead to unintended physiological consequences and compromises. It explores the difference between competencies developed through genetic evolution and design, and compensations developed through environmental influences and stress, which can result in secondary dysfunctions. Specifically, it examines how competent behaviors and functions in children can be replaced by compensatory parafunctions due to environmental factors like mouth breathing, which can ultimately lead to malocclusions and other structural asymmetries if left unaddressed.
This document announces an upcoming webinar titled "Current Topics in Airway Dentistry" hosted by The Airway and Facial Development Collaborative on June 13, 2016 at 9:30 EST. The webinar will be produced by Dr. Mark A. Cruz and Dr. Barry Raphael and will discuss evolution, Darwinian dentistry, competencies, stressors, physiology, and consequences as they relate to airway dentistry.
This document provides a brief history of myofunctional orthodontics, listing important contributors from 1850 to present day. It focuses on two pioneers: Wilhelm Roux, a German anatomist in the late 19th century who first conceptualized "Functional Orthopedics"; and Alfred P. Rogers, an orthodontist in the early 20th century who advocated total-child treatment including muscular exercises to improve posture and breathing. The document presents several of Rogers' publications from 1918-1926 where he emphasized the importance of muscle training and exercises alone in orthodontic treatment.
This document discusses bringing together different approaches to orthodontics that consider airway health, including Rogers MewAngleCrozat, myofunctional orthotropics, fixed appliances, and lightwire/cranial techniques. It advocates for interdisciplinary collaboration between orthodontics and other medical fields like pediatrics, musculo-skeletal medicine, and more to implement airway-conscious treatment protocols, improve diagnostics, and raise awareness of airway health issues. The goal is improved patient outcomes through validated multi-system diagnoses and addressing the epidemiology of airway problems.
The document announces upcoming events on airway orthodontics and a new collaborative medical/dental care model. It provides information on upcoming spreecasts and mini-residency courses on airway assessment, causes of airway dysfunctions, treatment, and practice. It also includes a call for participants in a white flag initiative and invites people to subscribe to updates, provide feedback, and share invitations with others. It closes with a parting quote about evidence-based practice and the need for ongoing curiosity and discourse.
This document discusses orthodontics and airway issues. It mentions that three orthodontists who attended an AARD meeting were curious about airway problems after one mentioned speakers on health and airway journeys. The friend spent two days promoting airway awareness and ALF programs, hoping other practitioners would understand the problems and solutions. The friend suggests crafting a vision for what they hope to achieve.
The document also lists researchers and outlines a research protocol studying the relationship between malocclusions, orofacial dysfunctions, and space conditions in primary and mixed dentition.
This email from a friend discusses a presentation they saw that focused on mandibular advancement for correcting malocclusions. The friend critiques the presentation for overlooking important factors like tongue position and swallowing pattern. They believe the actual problem in the cases was a low resting tongue level caused by issues like tongue tie or bottle feeding rather than mandibular position. Correcting mandibular position without addressing the underlying tongue issues risks open bite recurrence and TMJ problems later in life. The friend argues the study design did not fully consider all impactful information needed to accurately reflect what was occurring.
This document summarizes an episode of "The Airway and Facial Development Collaborative" podcast. The episode features Darick Nordstrom discussing the power of proper facial development. Nordstrom is a dentist from a rural practice who studied osteopathy and developed several appliance designs. He focuses on empowering practitioner teams through airway, sleep, and facial development techniques. The podcast is produced by Drs. Mark Cruz and Barry Raphael and covers topics related to the evolution of dentistry and its impact on facial development and physiology.
The document announces an upcoming Spreecast event on April 25th featuring Mark Cruz and a guest discussing a new medical/dental care collaborative model. It also advertises upcoming airway mini-residencies on the east and west coast in June 2016 that will cover assessment, causes, treatment, and practice of airway-related dysfunctions. Finally, it provides parting words questioning the concept of evidence-based practice and calls for more curiosity and discourse on what remains unknown.
This document summarizes an upcoming webinar titled "Pat McBride: Reading the PSG and The DDS/MD Collaboration" hosted by The Airway and Facial Development Collaborative on March 28, 2016. The webinar will feature Pat McBride discussing how to read polysomnography reports and the collaboration between dentists and medical doctors. It provides details on McBride's background and experience in dental and sleep medicine. The webinar producers are listed as Dr. Mark A. Cruz and Dr. Barry Raphael.
The document contains announcements for upcoming events including a Spreecast on April 11th with Darick Nordstrom discussing stabilizing orthodontic patients and an event on April 25th with Mark Cruz on multidisciplinary wellness collaboratives. It also lists information on an airway mini-residency in June 2016 and a call for participants in the AAPMD White Flag initiative. Contact information is provided to subscribe, give feedback, and find out more information on the listed events and programs.
This document discusses sleep scoring and interpretation. It begins by introducing the speaker and their background and disclosures in the field of sleep medicine. It then covers the basics of how sleep studies are scored, including scoring sleep stages, respiratory events, arousals, and periodic limb movements. It discusses the specifics of what is involved in scoring each of these components and provides examples. The document raises some issues that can arise in testing and reporting, and how failures in the system can negatively impact patients. It advocates for partnership between sleep professionals to better understand sleep disorders.
This document provides information about an upcoming episode of "The Airway and Facial Development Collaborative" podcast hosted by Drs. Mark Cruz and Barry Raphael. The episode scheduled for March 14th at 9:30 EST will focus on the legacy of James Garry and his contributions to the fields of dental occlusion and craniomandibular disorders. It will feature guests Clayton Chan and Ron Reeves discussing their history working with and being mentored by James Garry.
Clayton and Ron are thanked for something. An announcement is made about an upcoming webinar on March 28th with Pat McBride about working with medical offices. Another webinar is announced for April 11th with Mark Cruz on multidisciplinary wellness collaboratives. Information is provided about an upcoming airway mini-residency in June on both coasts covering assessment, causes, treatment, and practice regarding airway-related dysfunctions. Contact information is given for Darick Nordstrom and the AAPMD website. A call for participants is made for an AAPMD white flag initiative for orthodontists and others. Instructions are given to subscribe and pass invitations to others. Feedback can be provided to
James F. Garry was considered the "Einstein of Dentistry" for his pioneering work in upper airway obstruction, upper airway deformities, and craniomandibular disorders. He helped develop technologies like the Nuk pacifier and aspirator. Garry was inspired by Dr. Bernard Jankelson, the father of neuromuscular dentistry, and began incorporating neuromuscular techniques after seeing their success in treating his sister's pain. Garry was a leader in the field who published extensively, lectured worldwide, and held many positions in professional organizations throughout his career.
The document announces upcoming events including a Spreecast on Dr. James Garry on March 14th and a talk by Pat McBride on working with medical offices on March 28th. It also advertises East and West Coast airway mini-residencies in June 2016 and the AAPMD White Flag conference in Tucson in September. It provides contact information for the events and asks readers to subscribe, pass on invitations, and provide feedback. It closes with a quote about arguing and listening.

2. Functional Breathing is Adaptive,
Appropriate, Responsive
Functional breathing is breathing that performs and adapts its
various functions to quickly and appropriately meet the changing
needs of the individual and changes in the internal and external
environment.
It adapts appropriately to rest and activity.2Rosalba Courtney 2013
3. Functional breathing- efficiently maintains
the functions of breathing
• Primary
– Biochemical- Optimise O2 and CO2, pH regulation and
metabolism.
– Biomechanical- Optimise neuromuscular respiratory pump.
• Secondary
– motor control and postural stability
– regulation of homeostatic e.g. cardiorespiratory oscillations via
cardiopulmonary coupling
– regulation of ANS and modulation of vagal activity
– self-regulation of stress and emotion.
– psycho-spiritual functions

18. Hypoxia usually decreases CO2
tolerance.
Hypoxia increases the sensitivity
and ventilatory recruitment
threshold of the peripheral
chemoreflex response to CO2.
Hyperventilation to some extent be an
adaptive response to hypoxia. This has a cost
and negative consequences but loss of this
response may also lead to problems. (see
following study).

Fifty children, 6 to 12 years of age were studied
Asleep-Polysomnogram to compute the OAHI.
Awake- Measured ventilatory drive – normoxia, isocapnic hypoxia,hyperoxic hypercapnia
CONCLUSIONS:
In awake children the OAHI correlates inversely with the hypoxic ventilatory drive and
positively with the resting PETCO2.
Reduced hypoxic ventilatory drive and resting CO2 retention are associated with sleep-
disordered breathing in 6-12 year old children
.
20. Context of hyperventilation and mouth
breathing should guide treatment
decisions
Hyperventilation and Mouth Breathing may
be semi- functional adaptations to
obstruction and hypoxia.
They may be difficult to treat until we raise
oxygen levels and increase airway size.

• Activate Long Term Facilitation (LTF)
– Increase chemosensitivity
– Active airway dilator muscles via vagus and

The 'Hygiene' or 'Old Friends' hypothesis suggests that increases in chronic
inflammatory disorders (allergies, inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmunity)
in developed countries are partly attributable to diminishing exposure to
organisms that were part of mammalian evolutionary history. Crucial organisms,
including helminths and saprophytic mycobacteria, are recognised by the innate
immune system as harmless or, in the case of helminths, as organisms that once
established must be tolerated. This recognition then triggers development of
regulatory dendritic cells that drive regulatory T-cell responses to the 'Old Friends'
themselves and to simultaneously processed 'forbidden' target antigens of the
chronic inflammatory disorders.

Editor's Notes
“if we observe successful people we can often see that they display a wonderful flexibility in reacting, in constantly changing from activity to rest. They have flexible breathing or functional breathing” Elsa Gindler
The term ‘dysfunctional breathing’ (DB) has been used increasingly over the last decade, particularly by those involved in breathing therapies (Thomas 2003; Hagman, Janson et al. 2008; Stanton, Vaughn et al. 2008). Its use has increased after doubts about the presence of hypocapnia in patients with the hyperventilation syndrome made the use of this term unacceptable (Dixhoorn 1997; Hornsveld 1997). At times it seems that the term dysfunctional breathing has been used as a proxy for the term hyperventilation syndrome, given that the main criteria for diagnosing DB has been the Nijmegen Questionnaire (Thomas, McKinley et al. 2001; Thomas, McKinley et al. 2005), a questionnaire that was originally validated for hyperventilation (Dixhoorn and Duivenvoorden 1985). However, at other times the term dysfunctional breathing has been used to refer exclusively to breathing pattern dysfunction (Prys-Picard and Niven 2008) or when unusual and disordered breathing patterns exist in combination with medically unexplained symptoms and anxiety (Hagman, Janson et al. 2008; Stanton, Vaughn et al. 2008).
Biochemical – relates to levels of O2, Co2, and pH. Most common biochemical dysfunction is hyperventilation but some people also hypoventilate. Biomechanical- relates to breathing pattern dysfunction e.g. thoracic breathing, paradoxical breathing, excessively irregular breathing or where there is weakness and poor co-ordination in patterns of muscle use during breathing. Psychophysiological-
Breathing is responsive to many factors e.g. psychological, neurological, structural and pathological Breathing that appears dysfunctional may simply be the body’s best attempt at adapting to a particular set of circumstances. To effectively correct any aspect of dysfunctional breathing it is important to take into account the context in which they occur, their causes and contributing factors.
In a small percentage of these children asking them to close their mouth will reduce oxygen levels. In these children mouth breathing is a ‘somewhat’ functional adaptation to obstructed airways. While we do want to train all children to stop mouth breathing in this particular group it is not the first step. The first step is to somehow increase the size of the airway. In the rest asking them to close their mouth causes O2 levels to rise. In these cases mouth breathing is a dysfunctional adaptation. One of the first priorities in these children is to train them not to mouth breath. In the majority of children asking them to close their mouths, does not create any immediate change in oxygen levels. However because of the many negative effects of mouth breathing ( which I don’t have time to go through in this talk or just a quick slide), we still need to train them not to mouth breathe.
Maladaptive Respiratory Neuroplasticity.Respiratory plasticity is defined as a persistent change in the neural control system based on prior experience.Plasticity may involve structural and/or functional alterations (most commonly both) and can arise from multiple cellular/synaptic mechanisms at different sites in the respiratory control system. Respiratory plasticity can be induced by hypoxia, hypercapnia, exercise, injury, stress, and pharmacological interventions or conditioning and occurs during development as well as in adults. Hypoxemia and hypercapnia can lead to a habitual change of breathing pattern because of the process know as Long Term Facilitation (LTF), a process in which alters neuroplasticity of respiratory motor control.
Breathing modulates arousal, restores homeostasis.“The biological purpose of the aroused state is to allow an organism to ‘cope’ physiologically, behaviorally and emotionally with specific environmental demands. Arousal must be followed by a period of relaxation for homeostasis to be restored” (Sterling and Eyer 1988). p94
Babies especially responsive to respiratory neuroplasticity- Developmental plasticity is induced by experiences (e.g., altered respiratory gases) during sensitive developmental periods, thereby altering mature respiratory control. The same experience later in life has little or no effect. In adults, neuromodulation plays a prominent role in several forms of respiratory plasticity. For example, serotonergic modulation is thought to initiate and/or maintain respiratory plasticity following intermittent hypoxia, repeated hypercapnic exercise, spinal sensory denervation, spinal cord injury, and at least some conditioned reflexes. Some factors that are thought to contribute to maladaptive plasticity include- Intermittent hypoxia, supplemental oxygen, maternal separation, stress, malnutrition (Marcus et al., 2009).Marcus et al.

Birth TraumaAccording to Dr. LassissaLasovetskyas of St Petersburg College of Osteopathic Medicine- studies of posture and skeletal motion done on more than 1000 children comparing those with normal and dysfunctional breathing patterns revealed a consistent pattern of C0-C1 dysfunction, sphenoid and vomer fixation. She and her colleagues believe that this pattern in its pure form is mainly inherent to children and is usually connected with a birth trauma. “The first movement performed by the baby during labor is flexion. It is the only kind of engagement, which allows the head to enter the birth canal with its minimal size. But there are occasions, when this kind of engagement does not happen, and instead the head is shifted forward with elements of extension. After birth it will manifest in marked C0 - C1 compression and compensatory hyper-mobility in C1 – C2 segment in flexion”.Dr. Lasovetskaya describing the children with sniffing type breathing “In 100% of cases osteopathic examination demonstrated C0 – C1 compression, absence of nodding movement at this level, translation of the whole segment anteriorly, compensatory hyper-mobility in C1 – C2 segment in flexion. Nearly in half of these children these lesions were combined with intraosseous compression of the occiput”.
The sensation of dyspnea or breathlessness is strongly influenced by how the brain interprets and responds to the activity of the respiratory muscles, the tension in the chest wall and the shape, length and strength of the diaphragm. Dyspnea increases and reaches distressing levels when the respiratory motor output does not result in the expected response by the respiratory muscles and the chest wall.
People with this sort of problem can be recognised by disproportionate or unexplained dyspnea, sighing respiration, a vertical breathing pattern, symptoms of “unsatisfied respiration”. “I cannot take a deep or satisfying breath”. “My ribcage feels stuck and cant expand”. They might also continue mouth breathing even though the airways are adequate.
Abstract:Background: This article evaluates the prevalence of hyperventilation syndrome (HVS) in patients who continue to complain of ongoing nasal congestion, despite an apparently adequate surgical result and appropriate medical management.Methods: Prospective case series of 14 patients from June 2002 to October 2003 was performed. Patients, who presented complaining of nasal congestion after previous nasal surgery and who appeared to have an adequate nasal airway with no evidence of nasal valve collapse, were evaluated for HVS. When appropriate, nasal steroids and oral antihistamines also had been tested without success. Three patients had end-tidal PCO2 levels measured and five patients underwent breathing reeducation.Results: All patients had an elevated respiratory rate (>18 breaths/minute) with an upper thoracic breathing pattern. Twelve of the 14 patients complaining of nasal obstruction had an elevated Nijmegen score indicative of HVS. An average number of 2.5 procedures had been performed on each patient. End-tidal PCO2 levels were ≤35 mmHg in the three patients who had expired PCO2 levels measured. Breathing retraining was successful in correcting the nasal congestion in two of five patients.Conclusion: HVS should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with nasal congestion, particularly after failed nasal surgery. One possible explanation is increased nasal resistance secondary to low arterial PCO2 levels. Another possible explanation is reduced alaenasae muscle activity secondary to the reduced activity of serotonin-containing raphe neurons. Additional surgery may not necessarily be the answer in HVS patients complaining of nasal congestion.
Yes. It is a contributing factor. Several studies showing that mouth breathers (those milder obstruction) can tend to lower CO2.Hyperventilation is linearly related to increased nasal resistance so its reasonable to assume it is a contributing factor. Nasal resistance decreases linearly as expired CO2 levels and exercise levels increase, minute ventilation increases linearly as expired CO2 levels and exercise levels increase, and nasal resistance varies inversely with minute ventilation during both hypercapnia and exercise. The constant relationship between nasal resistance and minute ventilation during hypercapnia and exercise suggests that nasal resistance is regulated by the respiratory center to match the level of respiratory demand. (Mertz and McCaffrey, 1984) Raising CO2 can decrease nasal resistance and treat seasonal rhinitis(Casale et al., 2008). Hyperventilation increases nasal resistance (Dallimore and Eccles, 1977)
Before the 1980s, Hyperventilation Syndrome (HVS) was a generally accepted diagnosis for patients with anxiety, disturbed breathing and unexplained “psychosomatic” symptoms and was argued to be common, yet infrequently recognized (Lum 1975; Lum 1976; Magarian 1982). Since that time the existence of a defined HVS has been increasingly questioned. After the late 1980’s scientists began to increasingly voice doubts about the specific role of CO2 in the symptoms of HVS and the gold standard diagnostic test for HVS, the Hyperventilation Provocation Test (HVPT) (Garssen 1992; Hornsveld and Garssen 1996). While some researchers tried to develop new models that did not entirely dismiss hypocapnia in the pathophysiology of HVS (Hornsveld and Garssen 1996; Howell 1997; Folgering 1999; Wilhelm, Gertivz et al. 2001) others argued that HVS probably did not exist (Hornsveld 1997). In subsequent years, HVS became a controversial diagnosis; researchers tended to avoid it and clinicians struggled to find new names to describe patients with the combination of breathing abnormalities and unexplained symptoms (Hornsveld 1997). In recent years, researchers have begun to reconsider the importance of hyperventilation (Warburton and Jack 2006), and in the field of respiratory psychophysiology there has been a renewal of research interest in the role of hypocapnia in symptom production. This recent work tends to support a moderating role for CO2 in asthma and panic disorder (Howell 1990; Meuret and Ritz 2010).Since the beginning of the nineteenth century it has been known that central and peripheral neurovascular symptoms such as numbness, dizziness, muscle hypertonicity and tingling sensations could be brought on by voluntary forced ventilation (Bass 1989) which produces hypocapnia and respiratory alkalosis (Haldane 1908). The idea of a hyperventilation syndrome, which included these classic symptoms of hypocapnia and additional symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, breathlessness, disorientation and anxiety, began after Kerr reported his use of the hyperventilation challenge to elicit these complaints in 35 patients whose symptoms were otherwise unexplained (Kerr 1937) (Chaitow 2002). The symptoms of one of the main diagnostic labels which preceded HVS, the “effort syndrome”, were subsequently attributed to hypocapnia and respiratory alkalosis (Soley and Shock 1938). The range of symptoms attributed to HVS eventually came to encompass a large number of symptoms of central and peripheral neurovascular, muscular, respiratory, cardiac, gastrointestinal origin (Soley 1938; Lewis 1953; Magarian 1982). Typical symptoms of HVS are shown in Table 1.
The definition of Hyperventilation Syndrome (HVS) has changed in the last 20 years as a result of controversy about the relationship of hypocapnia with the large number of symptoms that had over time come to be associated with this syndrome. The definition agreed upon by attendees of the 4th International Symposium on Psychophysiology in Southampton in 1984 is as follows:“Hyperventilation syndrome is a syndrome characterized by a variety of somatic symptoms induced by a physiologically inappropriate hyperventilation and usually produced in whole or in part by voluntary hyperventilation” p287, (Howell 1990). The definition of the HVS, the role of hypocapnia in producing symptoms historically associated with the HVS and the very existence of the HVS itself came to be questioned over the next decade (Gardner 1995). By 1997, it became clear that the definition proposed in Southampton in 1984 was insufficient. A new definition was proposed at the 3rd International Conference of Respiratory Psychophysiology in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. This definition continues to link medically unexplained physical symptoms with dysregulated breathing but decreases the emphasis on the importance of hypocapnia as an etiological factor:Hyperventilation Syndrome is “ a dysregulation of ventilation, causing hypocapnia, in the absence of somatic causes for hyperventilation, with symptoms not necessarily linked to hypocapnia” p73 (Molema and Folgering 1997).Despite this more flexible definition, HVS remains a controversial diagnosis. The following brief review of the history of the Hyperventilation Syndrome is presented to provide a context to understanding the controversies surrounding the Hyperventilation Syndrome.
It appears that the health issues faced by our children have to do with the social, environmental and dietary changes that have occurred over the last 50 -60 years.
