Two points worth noting:

1) I understand the '10 seconds' TUC relates to NO supply of oxygen. With the mask at 100% (?and with pressure breathing?) this should improve.

BUT

2) an 'explosive' type decompression forces the air out of the lungs (don't try to hold it in at 41000') which REDUCES TUC.
