Does hyperbaric oxygen cause narcosis or hyperexcitability? A quantitative EEG analysis

Abstract Divers breathe higher partial pressures of oxygen at depth than at the surface. The literature and diving community are divided on whether or not oxygen is narcotic. Conversely, hyperbaric oxygen may induce dose‐dependent cerebral hyperexcitability. This study evaluated whether hyperbaric o...
