The history of hypoxia prevention is closely inter-related with high altitude mountain and aviation physiology. One pioneering attempt to overcome low inspired oxygen partial pressures in aviation was the BLB mask-named after the three designers-Walter M Boothby, W Randolph Lovelace II and Arthur H Bulbulian. This mask and its variations originated just prior to World War 2 when aircraft were able to fly higher than 10,000 feet and pilot hypoxia affecting performance was an increasing problem. We give a brief description of the mask and its designers and discuss the donation of a model used by the British War Office in October 1940 and donated to the Harry Daly Museum at the Australian Society of Anaesthetists by the family of Dr Fred Street. Dr Street was a pioneering paediatric surgeon in Australia and served as a doctor in the Middle East and New Guinea in World War 2. He received the Military Cross.
缺氧预防的历史与高海拔登山和航空生理学密切相关。在航空领域，为克服吸入氧气分压过低而进行的一次开创性尝试是BLB面罩——以三位设计师的名字命名，分别是沃尔特·M·布斯比、W·伦道夫·洛夫莱斯二世和亚瑟·H·布尔布利安。这种面罩及其变体起源于第二次世界大战之前，当时飞机能够飞行到10000英尺以上的高度，飞行员因缺氧影响飞行表现的问题日益突出。我们简要介绍了这种面罩及其设计师，并讨论了1940年10月被英国战争办公室使用并由弗雷德·斯特里特医生的家人捐赠给澳大利亚麻醉师协会哈利·戴利博物馆的一个模型。斯特里特医生是澳大利亚一位开创性的儿科外科医生，在第二次世界大战期间在中东和新几内亚服役。他获得了军事十字勋章。
