TIME OF USEFUL
CONSCIOUSNESS
In the event of decompression at altitude,
the primar y need is for oxygen to prevent
hypoxia. Hypoxia is the lack of adequate
oxygen to keep the brain and other body tis-
sue functioning properly. Early symptoms
of hypoxia are an increased sense of well-
being, poor coordination, impaired think-
ing, unusual fatigue, and a dull headache.
Therefore, the crew must act quickly to don
oxygen masks and supply oxygen to the pas-
sengers before the onset of hypoxia.

nunciator illuminate due to inadequate cabin
pressure, or loss of pressurization at high
altitudes, crew and passengers should don
oxygen masks immediately and descend to
a safe altitude.

minimize the exposure to hypoxia.
