During 1970-80, 298 USAF aircrewmen were reported as having experienced in-flight hypoxia. Although none of the incidents resulted in an aircraft accident, the potential was there in that many of the reported symptoms were incapacitating to some degree. Most often, the cause of the hypoxia incident was due to cockpit/cabin depressurization or some other malfunction of the oxygen system. However, it was sometimes due to poor oxygen discipline. The authors emphasize that, with a thorough preflight inspection of the mask, hose, and connections as well as a PRICE check, the risk of in-flight hypoxia would be significantly reduced.
在1970年至1980年期间，据报告有298名美国空军机组人员在飞行中经历过缺氧情况。尽管这些事件均未导致飞机事故，但由于许多报告的症状在某种程度上会使人丧失能力，所以存在这种可能性。最常见的情况是，缺氧事件的原因是驾驶舱/客舱减压或氧气系统的其他故障。然而，有时也归因于氧气使用规范不当。作者强调，通过对面罩、软管和连接件进行全面的飞行前检查以及进行PRICE检查，飞行中缺氧的风险将显著降低。
