Can grounded airplanes be used as Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers for Covid-19?
In this video Dr. Jason Sonners offers a whiteboard explanation to illustrate the differences in how oxygen and pressure impact our absorption.

Different elevations above and below sea level illustration: 1:31
Sea Level and Climbing: 1:53
Sea Level and Descending: 2:11
Different units used to measure atmosphere: 2:53
Elevation (Feet), Descent (Feet) Pressure (PSI, mm of mercury), Percentages of Oxygen: 3:32
Numbers at Sea Level: 4:09
Climbing above sea level: 5:24
Can an airplane be a hyperbaric chamber?: 8:47
Whats the difference between Hyperbaric Oxygen (Pressure) and Ventilator (Pressure)?: 11:03
Descending below sea level: 13:25
Oxygen System at each seat on an airplane: 16:38
Airplane on the ground / Oxygen System at each seat: 17:13
What we Do NOT know: Could we flow enough oxygen, at enough pressure, for a long enough period of time where we can deliver a rate of oxygen that exceeds the typical oxygen on an airplane?
What we Do know:
Airplanes are capable of pressurizing 8-12 psi. If we can pressurize 8-12 psi, we can massively increase the percentage of oxygen we are treating our patients with.
There are still a lot of unanswered questions about this concept that need answering. Please leave comments below.
