ABSTRACT:
A hypoxia monitor is incorporated into the headphones worn by a pilot. The hypoxia monitor is preferably a pulse oximeter which provides a noninvasive monitoring of blood levels of the pilot. The pulse oximeter probe is mounted on the ear seal of the headphone so that it contacts the skin beneath the ear of the pilot. The probe is wired through the headphone wires and attaches to a monitor mounted in the panel of the airplane. The monitor provides a visual and audio signal if the blood level of the pilot decreases significantly. This will alert the pilot to either reduce his altitude or provide additional oxygen for the cockpit area.
