Figure 2From: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy fails to reduce hydrocephalus formation following subarachnoid hemorrhage in ratsMultiple HBO treatment neither altered the occurrence of hydrocephalus nor affected the ventricular volume after SAH. At 21 days after SAH, 4 rats showed an increased ventricular volume compared with Sham; 6 rats showed no significant difference in ventricular volume. HBO or NBO treatment did not alter the occurrence of hydrocephalus, as 4 rats in each of these groups. Neither HBO nor NBO treatment affected the cerebroventricular volumes in the hydrocephalic animals. Sham, n = 8; SAH w/t HyC, n = 6; SAH/HyC, n = 4; SAH/HyC + HBO, n = 4; SAH/HyC + NBO, n = 4. *p < 0.05 compared with Sham, #p < 0.05 compared with SAH w/t HyC.Back to article page
