Abstract
Apparatus for supplying oxygen to a vehicle user, comprising a source of pressurized respiratory gas containing oxygen-enriched air, a flow-regulating and/or pressure-regulating unit, and at least one mask provided for supplying gas to the respiratory tract of said user, the regulating unit comprising at least one inlet connected to the source and at least one outlet connected to the mask, the regulating unit being configured to regulate the flow and/or the pressure of the respiratory gas supplied to the mask according to the respiratory demand of the user, the apparatus comprising at least one sensor measuring the pressure and/or the flow of respiratory gas delivered by the regulating unit to the mask, and an electronic data storage and processing unit configured to receive the measurements from the at least one sensor and to calculate, from these measurements, the frequency of the gas flows supplied to the mask and corresponding to the respiratory frequency of the user, to compare this calculated frequency against a threshold frequency and, when this calculated frequency is greater than the threshold frequency, to generate an audible and/or visual and/or vibratory warning signal.
