I am giving a presentation at the 2023 Reno SSA Convention on oxygen systems with my partner Dr Dan Johnson. My portion will be the how-to practical side while Dr Dan will cover the medical side.
The current version of my presentation can be found at; http://aviation.derosaweb.net/presentations/#oxygen.
My questions are;
- Who else but Mountain High sells a pulse-demand system? I have done some searching and have not found any other manufacturer.
- A friend has a 100% mechanical pulse-demand system (Aerox) which seems no longer to be made. Any others on the market?
Thanks for any information.

I did some research on the Aithre system. I added information on this system in the latest version of my Oxygen Systems presentation.
I also did a pro/con analysis between the Mountain High system and the Aithre system (as well on the pages for non-pulse systems).
Take a look and let me know your comments or suggestions.

I have read and appreciated your presentation about oxygen. In the list of resources, I regret that you do not mention my book “Dancing with the Wind”, chapter 12, which goes much further in-depth about O2 issues. In particular, Dr Schaffner and

Sorry but I have to disagree with the Garmin watches being a good spO2 monitor.
Before the 2022 season I purchased a Garmin D2 aviation watch. Very nice with lots of aviation centric functions - except for the primary reason I purchased it. Which is during flight I could just glace at my watch and get a quick O2 reading - or
Maybe it was just my person physiology, or a D2 issue, but 90%+ of the time I was told to "hold still". Hold still while flying a glider? Even in still air between thermals it was a challenge. Even then I had to wait up to 60 seconds to get areading.
I reverted to a (LCD sunlight readable) finger tip spO2 unit. Never failed giving a reading in 10-15 seconds.

I recently began using an oximeter that is comfortable to wear for an
entire flight, does not interfere with control operation, tolerates
motion very well, updates the % and heart rate reading every 5 seconds,
logs all the readings, and has adjustable vibration alerts for O2% and
heart beat. Search for "Wellue O2Ring Oxygen Monitor with Vibration
Alarm" on Amazon, Walmart, etc, for prices that vary from $180 and down
(I paid $150 from their website).
My only complaint is the ring display is hard to read in full sunlight
while flying, but the vibration alarm is what I'd rely on, anyway. The
phone app shows the readings, so that's a way to see them if you need a better display inflight. It also has a good graphing function for after flight review of readings.
I've been flying for 50 years without anything like that. I learned my hypoxia symptoms...
in the altitude chamber back in 73 and 75. I do have am electronic CO meter in my Cessna,
however.

How do you know your symptoms are the same, 47 years later? Putting it another way: How do you know your are functioning adequately as long you don't have those symptoms?
The advantage of using an oximeter is it can warn you before your O2%
has decreased too far, and maybe before you have symptoms.

I use an O2D2, change the batteries annually, have the system to deliver oxygen at the
surface, and I keep tabs on system pressure. I'm happy with those.

All good things to do, and I also do them however, the last few years my oximeter showed
me I was exhibiting Cheyne-Stokes breathing above 7000', dipping into the high 80s with no
symptoms. I don't know if that's a potential problem, but I don't think spending minutes
between 85 and 90 is a good for me, so I go to F5 on the O2D1 to increase O2 delivery.
