      There's a metric called VO2 Max, which is a measure of the maximum rate of oxygen intake for a specific person. This is kind of the opposite side of what you're looking for (you're looking for minimum survivable, this is maximum consumption), but it might be helpful.

      The average untrained healthy male has a VO2 max of approximately 35–40 mL/(kg·min).The average untrained healthy female has a VO2 max of approximately 27–31 mL/(kg·min). These scores can improve with training and decrease with age, though the degree of trainability also varies widely.
