While this ability is a common trait of obligate nasal breathers, the definition does not require that nasal breathing is necessary for the animal. Even in obligate nasal breathers such as horses, rabbits, and rodents, there is a potential patent path for air to travel from the mouth to the lungs which can be used for endotracheal intubation.
The CPT code set describes medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and is designed to communicate uniform information about medical services and procedures among physicians, coders, patients, accreditation organizations, and payers for administrative, financial, and analytical purposes.
As a result, infants are obligate nasal breathers until the age of 5 months. [9] Given their overall smaller airway diameter, children are more susceptible to airway obstruction from swelling. [ 9 ] Given the rapid growth throughout childhood, care must be taken to choose the proper sized airway device for every individual.

Complete respiratory system. The respiratory tract is divided into the upper airways and lower airways.The upper airways or upper respiratory tract includes the nose and nasal passages, paranasal sinuses, the pharynx, and the portion of the larynx above the vocal folds (cords).
In about 85% of cases, nasal congestion leads to mouth breathing rather than nasal breathing. [2] According to Jason Turowski, MD of the Cleveland Clinic, "we are designed to breathe through our noses from birth—it's the way humans have evolved." [3] This is referred to as "obligate nasal breathing." [4]
