Abstract
✓ This study demonstrates that the tissue pO2 of the normal spinal cord of dogs can be modified by ventilating the animals with oxygen and carbogen. Following trauma to the cord, the tissue pO2 responded only to hyperbaric oxygen. A series of animals rendered paraplegic and treated with hyperbaric oxygen recovered to a greater degree than those in an untreated control group.
