[Monitoring brain PO2 as a means of predicting brain PN2 changes under hyperbaric oxygenation simulating...

In rabbits, rats and mice, the delays of maximum of the brain oxygenation curves in respect to the maximum pressure curves were found to be 47.4 +/- 5.5 s; 32.6 +/- 2.9 s; and 26.4 +/- 2.0 s, resp. The data obtained shows the brain oxygenation monitoring to help to predict the nitrogen tension dynamics in the "fast" tissues during simulation of free surfacing.
