A '''respiratory bypass system''' was a part of [[Gallifreyan physiology]] which allowed [[Time Lord]]s to go without breathing for longer periods of time than most [[human]]s could. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Return of the Krotons]]'') It also allowed them to filter out unpleasant smells.

The Doctor used it to survive more than once. The [[Second Doctor]] credited his survival on the surface of [[Mnemosyne (moon)|Mnemosyne]] to his respiratory bypass system.

The [[Sixth Doctor]] avoided [[hypoxia]] when he shut down atmospheric controls to the mines on the planet [[Onyakis]] to defeat the [[Kroton (species)|Krotons]] there, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Return of the Krotons]]'') using this advantage again to avoid breathing in [[vorum gas]].

[[River Song]] had a respiratory bypass system, but she hadn't used it very much. When she and [[Isabella Clerkwell]] were trapped in a room where the air had been sucked out, Isabella passed out and River struggled to remain conscious. She tried to activate her respiratory bypass system but due to her lack of practice with it, she didn't have enough time to activate it.

However, the bypass system still has its limitations, as the [[Twelfth Doctor]] suffered seemingly permanent blindness after he was forced to expose himself to the vacuum of space when traversing the exterior of a space station as he was forced to donate his spacesuit's helmet to his companion [[Bill Potts]] when hers was damaged ([[TV]]: ''[[Oxygen (TV story)|Oxygen]]'') | |||
