Critical value of oxygen tension (Po2) and cerebral blood flow in the striatum for seizure appearance during hyperbaric oxygenation (5 ATA) were determined in awake Wistar rats. Seizure activity was observed at Po2=1030±102 mm Hg. A relationship between brain Po2 and blood flow was revealed at different regimens of hyperbaric oxygenation using a mathematical model. Comparison of experimental data and mathematical model showed that seizureinducing levels of Po2 during hyperbaric oxygenation at 4, 5, and 6 ATA can be achieved after increasing blood flow by 1.5-3.0, 1.2-2.0, and 0.8-1.1, respectively.
