Honestly, to get the ''meds'' into the airways and the lungs, doing treatments by mouth (tube) are much more effective. When breathing through a mask, more of the meds deposit and or fall out onto the face, in the nose, etc. Not in the areas where you generally want the meds to go. Mask is beneficial to upper respiratory, sinus etc, but will allow only minimal (if any) penetration into the bronchi and bronchioles. We use masks on kids or debilitated who are not able to get the mechanics of mouth breathing, or not able to mouth breath for whatever reason.
