If a passenger needs a POB during flight for first aid, how should it be stowed?

Explanation:
When a passenger needs POB during a flight, keep the oxygen device close to the patient and secure it so it can’t move. Placing the POB right beside the passenger and fastening it with the seat belt ensures it stays with the patient, is readily accessible, and won’t roll or shift if the aircraft moves. If space is tight, you can put it on the floor in front of the passenger, as long as it doesn’t block access to the aisle. Stowing it in a crew bag or in the cockpit keeps it out of reach when needed and can delay or prevent quick access, and leaving it unattended risks loss or movement during flight.
