In aerospace operations, decompression equipment is also critical for protecting pilots and passengers from the hazards of high altitudes. As aircraft ascend to cruising altitudes, the air pressure decreases, which can lead to hypoxia – a condition caused by a lack of oxygen in the bloodstream. To prevent this, aircraft are equipped with pressurized cabins that maintain a safe level of air pressure throughout the flight To prevent this, aircraft are equipped with pressurized cabins that maintain a safe level of air pressure throughout the flight

decompression equipment. In the event of a rapid decompression, such as a breach in the aircraft's hull, decompression masks are available for passengers and crew to quickly access a fresh oxygen supply.
