It discusses using supplemental oxygen in cases like this.

But that oxygen wouldn't usually be used at low level, and I'd have to
be concerned about oxygen toxicity.

This investigation was hampered by:
"Blood samples were not taken from the crew as Emerald Hospital
did not have the equipment required for blood gas testing."
I would think blood samples could be taken, capped, and tested later/elsewhere.

"Despite extensive post-occurrence ground and in-flight
examination, the source of the fumes could not be established."

That's a big mystery. I note ADSB considered wildfires etc.

No reason to be, its used routinesly in hospital ICUs now and is a damned
nuisance.
