Contexto
The time of useful consciousness (TUC) following a rapid decompression depends on aircraft altitude, the rate at which pressure falls, and the level of physical activity of the individual at the time of the event. At typical jet transport aircraft altitudes (35 000 feet) TUC will vary between 33 and 54 seconds. Those average values can be expected to drop by a half at 40 000 feet. This emphasizes the importance of immediate availability of supplemental oxygen to crew members.
