摘要:
An apparatus for providing breathing assistance includes a body for positioning within an oral cavity of a user, the body defining at least one first opening for allowing airflow between lips of the user. Two second openings are provided in the oral cavity to allow air flow into and out of a posterior region thereof. Two channels each connect a respective second opening to the at least one first opening. Each channel passes at least one of at least partially along the buccal cavity and at least partially between the teeth to thereby provide an airway at least partially bypassing the nasal passage to act to replicate a healthy nasal passage and pharyngeal space. A tongue retaining portion includes a cavity for receiving a portion of a tongue, the tongue retaining portion configured to retain the tongue in an extended position to project at least partially between the teeth.
