Tissue oxygen tension can be elevated under controlled conditions by simultaneously increasing the O2 concentration of inspired air and the ambient pressure (Jamieson and Van Den Brank,1963). Increasing tissue oxygen tension by hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) reduces organ blood flow (Muhvich et al.,1992; Bergo and Tyssebotn,1992) as well as some forms of edema (Nylander et al.,1985; Yamaguchi et al.,1990; Gehrs et al.,1991). An acutely reversible decrease of blood hemoglobin concentration by HBO (Bergo and Tyssebotn, 1992) further suggests hyperoxia affecting body fluid distribution. |
