Passenger Emergency Oxygen

portable oxygen onboard planes?

do airlines allow passengers to bring portable oxygen tanks just in case there is an emergency? the oxygen level up in an airplane is low and my mom has cold agglutinin disease and since it will be a long flight we will feel more secure if she had a portable oxygen along w/ her.

The FAA won't allow compressed gasses on planes, however airlines will provide oxygen to passengers who need it if you give them ample notice. Most airlines require 48-72 hours and many will charge up to $100 for the equipment.

Oxygen Administration $4.95 Providing supplemental oxygen to those that need it is an essential element of emergency care. Oxygen Administration is designed to provide an understanding of how to safely handle and administer oxygen in various settings. Key topics discussed in the Oxygen Administration course include: the components that make-up a supplemental oxygen system; the various types of supplemental oxygen devices; important safety, storage, service, and maintenance steps regarding the use of supplemental oxygen systems; the importance of supplemental oxygen in the care of victims of sudden illness or injury; and using supplemental oxygen equipment when providing care for a breathing or non-breathing victim.

How to tell Doc I don't need Oxygen on the airplane? Girl with MD... help!!?

I am travelling in two weeks and with the oximeter my SpO2 level is about 94-96%. I use BiPap during sleep but not with oxygen. My doc in Taiwan advises that I use oxygen during my trip. However, I have never needed it before and the airline told me if the Doc checked "yes" on the box "Does the passenger need continuous oxygen flow?", then the airline will very LIKELY deny me the right to fly.

How can I convince my Doc that I'll only need it in case of emergency? I really need to make this trip (via air). Can it be that my doc is o

Airlines pressurize cabins to the equivalent of 8,500 feet above sea level. Not only is there less oxygen available at 8,500 feet, there is less pressure. People with lung disease have many risks associated with a lack of adequate oxygen. I think there is more to this story than just a case of sleep apnea being treated with a BiPap at night. It is my guess that you have some sort of lung disease and your doctor is erring on the side of caution. Perhaps it would be better to work out a solution with the airlines. Finding out you really do need oxygen while at 38,000 feet and there is not enough O2 available isn't a good alternative.
