oxygen mask
An oxygen mask generally is defined as a breathing mask connected to an oxygen supply and worn over the nose and mouth (or muzzle depending on the species) that supplies the wearer with breathable oxygen to sustain living. An oxygen mask can be worn for example by airplane pilots who fly at high altitude to supply the pilot the required oxygen to sustain conciousness in an atmosphere that is oxygen deprived. Another example is in medical field as to heal patients with a low oxygen concentration, provide life support for patients in critical condition or in respiratory distress.
