Hyperbaric oxygen reduces blood-brain barrier damage and edema after transient focal cerebral ischemia.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been shown to protect the brain parenchyma against transient focal cerebral ischemia, but its effects on the ischemic microcirculation are largely unknown. We examined the potential of HBO to reduce postischemic blood-brain...
