Abstract:

Sudden decompression of an airliner passenger cabin due to structural failure or damage is unlikely, but it poses a potentially life-threatening event for occupants. We investigated a worst-case scenario, where the passenger fails to receive supplemental oxygen during a rapid decompression (RD), and the subsequent emergency descent to 25,000 ft required by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) policy. Our research question was whether an individual's oxygen stores will be depleted prior to the aircraft descending to an altitude that will permit inward fluxes of oxygen that exceed the resting oxygen consumption requirement.
