Staining of PO2 Measuring Points Demonstrated for the Rat Brain Cortex

A new reproducible model of an epidural mass lesion in rodents. Part I: Characterization by neurophysiological monitoring, magnetic resonance imaging, and histopathological analysis

“…The PtiO 2 measurements ranged between 20 and 25 mm Hg, corresponding to experimental and clinical findings. 6,8,11,23,43,44,47,58,65,66 The PtiO 2 reached normal values with a delay of 60 to 90 minutes; this was most likely caused by the trauma of probe insertion, accompanied by temporary local swelling and bleeding. 65 In contrast the LDF value was immediately stable and re- mained so for the entire 240-minute experiment, with less than a 20% diversion from mean values.…”
