Abstract

In high altitude flying oxygen equipment is necessary if altitudes of more than 4,000 meters are reached.... I would like to emphasize the importance of the oxygen partial pressure and the time of useful consciousness in order to prevent incidents in high altitude flying and at least leave us better equpped for facing this problem.
