The Protective Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygenation in Experimental Cerebral Edema

Michael H. Sukoff, Sidney A. Hollin, Omar E. Espinosa, Julius H. Jacobson

Abstract

pREVIOUS communications indicate that hyperbaric oxygenation (HPO) may be beneficial in the management of ischemic disorders of the brain, l~176 Other investigators~,~, have described the effects of high pressure oxygen on cerebral trauma. The cerebral vasoconstriction caused by hyperbaric oxygenationla,z~,~6,-~ '-'G in combination with the increased available oxygen ~,~s,2~ are factors that might be of value in the treatment of cerebral edema. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on cerebral edema produced by a slowly expanding intracranial space-occupying lesion. Method
