I've used supplemental oxygen in an airplane, and I didn't notice a damn thing different other than it made me more alert. That was a good thing.

Are you sure it wasn't the cold and panic of being in an unpressurized plane that made you more alert?

Panic? I'd certainly hope not. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Just to clarify, I was flying. Also, the plane is designed unpressurized.

O2 toxicity is what you end up with. It washes all the nitrogen out. Also it would take awhile to kill you.

If you give a newborn to much o2 you can make him/her blind.

Look up o2 toxcity.

BTW you can not get 100% o2 out of a concentrator. You really need high flow o2. You can only get about 5 liters a minute out of one.
