Abstract
Central nervous system oxygen toxicity (CNS-OT) is a complex disorder that presents, initially, as a sequence of cardio-respiratory abnormalities and nonconvulsive signs and symptoms (S/Sx) of brain stem origin that culminate in generalized seizures, loss of consciousness, and postictal cardiogenic pulmonary edema. The risk of CNS-OT and its antecedent “early toxic indications” are what limits the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) in hyperbaric and undersea medicine. The purpose of this review is to illustrate, based on animal research, how the temporal pattern of abnormal brain stem responses that precedes an “oxtox hit” provides researchers a window into the early neurological events underlying seizure genesis. Specifically, we focus on the phenomenon of hyperoxic hyperventilation, and the medullary neurons presumed to contribute in large part to this paradoxical respiratory response; neurons in the caudal Solitary complex (cSC) of the dorsomedial medulla, including putative CO2 chemoreceptor neurons. The electrophysiological and redox properties of O2-/CO2-sensitive cSC neurons identified in rat brain slice experiments are summarized. Additionally, evidence is summarized that supports the working hypothesis that seizure genesis originates in subcortical areas and involves cardio-respiratory centers and cranial nerve nuclei in the hind brain (brainstem and cerebellum) based on, respectively, the complex temporal pattern of abnormal cardio-respiratory responses and various nonconvulsive S/Sx that precede seizures during exposure to HBO2.

Abstract
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is in wide use in human medicine around the world. Although hyperbaric oxygen therapy is available for veterinary use, it is still significantly underutilised. The physical principles, gas laws and physiologic mechanisms by which hyperbaric oxygen therapy is therapeutic, especially in traumatic injuries and complicated wound care, are discussed. Then, considerations are offered for the implementation of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in veterinary practices. Finally, a review of clinical indications for veterinary practices, including a presentation of select literature, is provided. Applying hyperbaric oxygen therapy in an earlier and more consistent manner could improve short- and long-term outcomes in complicated wounds. The authors also hope this information may stimulate interest in the design of future, prospective studies for the various clinical situations described.

Exogenous ketone ester delays CNS oxygen toxicity without impairing cognitive and motor performance in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 2021; 321:R100-R111.

Abstract
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) is breathing >1 atmosphere absolute (ATA; 101.3 kPa) O2 and is used in HBO2 therapy and undersea medicine. What limits the use of HBO2 is the risk of developing central nervous system (CNS) oxygen toxicity (CNS-OT). A promising therapy for delaying CNS-OT is ketone metabolic therapy either through diet or exogenous ketone ester (KE) supplement. Previous studies indicate that KE induces ketosis and delays the onset of CNS-OT; however, the effects of exogeneous KE on cognition and performance are understudied. Accordingly, we tested the hypothesis that oral gavage with 7.5 g/kg induces ketosis and increases the latency time to seizure (LSz) without impairing cognition and performance. A single oral dose of 7.5 g/kg KE increases systemic β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) levels within 0.5 h and remains elevated for 4 h. Male rats were separated into three groups: control (no gavage), water-gavage, or KE-gavage, and were subjected to behavioral testing while breathing 1 ATA (101.3 kPa) of air. Testing included the following: DigiGait (DG), light/dark (LD), open field (OF), and novel object recognition (NOR). There were no adverse effects of KE on gait or motor performance (DG), cognition (NOR), and anxiety (LD, OF). In fact, KE had an anxiolytic effect (OF, LD). The LSz during exposure to 5 ATA (506.6 kPa) O2 (≤90 min) increased 307% in KE-treated rats compared with control rats. In addition, KE prevented seizures in some animals. We conclude that 7.5 g/kg is an optimal dose of KE in the male Sprague-Dawley rat model of CNS-OT.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The topic of perioperative hyperoxia remains controversial, with valid arguments on both the 'pro' and 'con' side. On the 'pro' side, the prevention of surgical site infections was a strong argument, leading to the recommendation of the use of hyperoxia in the guidelines of the Center for Disease Control and the WHO. On the 'con' side, the pathophysiology of hyperoxia has increasingly been acknowledged, in particular the pulmonary side effects and aggravation of ischaemia/reperfusion injuries. RECENT FINDINGS Some 'pro' articles leading to the Center for Disease Control and WHO guidelines advocating perioperative hyperoxia have been retracted, and the recommendations were downgraded from 'strong' to 'conditional'. At the same time, evidence that supports a tailored, more restrictive use of oxygen, for example, in patients with myocardial infarction or following cardiac arrest, is accumulating. SUMMARY The change in recommendation exemplifies that despite much work performed on the field of hyperoxia recently, evidence on either side of the argument remains weak. Outcome-based research is needed for reaching a definite recommendation.

Abstract
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) is breathed during hyperbaric oxygen therapy and during certain undersea pursuits in diving and submarine operations. What limits exposure to HBO2 in these situations is the acute onset of central nervous system oxygen toxicity (CNS-OT) following a latent period of safe oxygen breathing. CNS-OT presents as various non-convulsive signs and symptoms, many of which appear to be of brainstem origin involving cranial nerve nuclei and autonomic and cardiorespiratory centers, which ultimately spread to higher cortical centers and terminate as generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The initial safe latent period makes the use of HBO2 practical in hyperbaric and undersea medicine; however, the latent period is highly variable between individuals and within the same individual on different days, making it difficult to predict onset of toxic indications. Consequently, currently accepted guidelines for safe HBO2 exposure are highly conservative. This review examines the disorder of CNS-OT and summarizes current ideas on its underlying pathophysiology, including specific areas of the CNS and fundamental neural and redox signaling mechanisms that are thought to be involved in seizure genesis and propagation. In addition, conditions that accelerate the onset of seizures are discussed, as are current mitigation strategies under investigation for neuroprotection against redox stress while breathing HBO2 that extend the latent period, thus enabling safer and longer exposures for diving and medical therapies.

Increased Antiseizure Effectiveness with Tiagabine Combined with Sodium Channel Antagonists in Mice Exposed to Hyperbaric Oxygen. Neurotox Res 2019; 36:788-795.

Abstract
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) is acutely toxic to the central nervous system, culminating in EEG spikes and tonic-clonic convulsions. GABA enhancers and sodium channel antagonists improve seizure latencies in HBO2 when administered individually, while combining antiepileptic drugs from different functional classes can provide greater seizure latency. We examined the combined effectiveness of GABA enhancers (tiagabine and gabapentin) with sodium channel antagonists (carbamazepine and lamotrigine) in delaying HBO2-induced seizures. A series of experiments in C57BL/6 mice exposed to 100% oxygen at 5 atmospheres absolute (ATA) were performed. We predicted equally effective doses from individual drug-dose response curves, and the combinations of tiagabine + carbamazepine or lamotrigine were tested to determine the maximally effective combined doses to be used in subsequent experiments designed to identify the type of pharmacodynamic interaction for three fixed-ratio combinations (1:3, 1:1, and 3:1) using isobolographic analysis. For both combinations, the maximally effective combined doses increased seizure latency over controls > 5-fold and were determined to interact synergistically for fixed ratios 1:1 and 3:1, additive for 1:3. These results led us to explore whether the benefits of these drug combinations could be extended to the lungs, since a centrally mediated mechanism is believed to mediate hyperoxic-induced cardiogenic lung injury. Indeed, both combinations attenuated bronchoalveolar lavage protein content by ~ 50%. Combining tiagabine with carbamazepine or lamotrigine not only affords greater antiseizure protection in HBO2 but also allows for lower doses to be used, minimizing side effects, and attenuating acute lung injury.

Abstract
Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy (HBOT) is used as an adjunctive method for multiple diseases. The method meets the routine treating and is non-invasive, as well as provides 100% pure oxygen (O2), which is at above-normal atmospheric pressure in a specialized chamber. It is well known that in the condition of O2 deficiency, it will induce a series of adverse events. In order to prevent the injury induced by anoxia, the capability of offering pressurized O2 by HBOT seems involuntary and significant. In recent years, HBOT displays particular therapeutic efficacy in some degree, and it is thought to be beneficial to the conditions of angiogenesis, tissue ischemia and hypoxia, nerve system disease, diabetic complications, malignancies, Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and chronic radiation-induced injury. Single and combination HBOT are both applied in previous studies, and the manuscript is to review the current applications and possible mechanisms of HBOT. The applicability and validity of HBOT for clinical treatment remain controversial, even though it is regarded as an adjunct to conventional medical treatment with many other clinical benefits. There also exists a negative side effect of accepting pressurized O2, such as oxidative stress injury, DNA damage, cellular metabolic, activating of coagulation, endothelial dysfunction, acute neurotoxicity and pulmonary toxicity. Then it is imperative to comprehensively consider the advantages and disadvantages of HBOT in order to obtain a satisfying therapeutic outcome.
