Cole Boston State H05pital Boston, Massachusetts 02129 Dear Jon, After your telephone call, I asked Dr. Volnvka to check on the question of hyperbnric oxygen and EEG, and the following are his notes: literature deals basically with two aspects of the problem: oxygen convulsions and the therapeutic use of hyperbaric oxygen. The most recent work on convulsions (Morel, Kerom and Levy, 1969), apart from asserting that the seizures have a random origin (at least in the rabbit), also provides a useful survey of the older literature. The Therapeutic hyperbaric oxygen effects on were reported by Levy-Alcover gt 31;, (1965), Marinchescu and Poilici (1966), and Goulon et alt (1968). In patients with cerebrovascular diseases, hyfiergaric oxygen caused widely heterogeneous EEG changes (either some flattening, or an amplitude increase, or sharp elements) and this was interpreted as indicating that oxygen might have resulted in cerebral vasoconstriction in some cases. This would have accentuated any pro-existing hypoxia. EEG In London,iin 1966, a heterogeneous group of neurological patients convalescing from brain anoxia or injury were introduced in a hyperbaric chamber. I reviewed the records of 5 patients and in this inadequate couple, saw changes reminiscent of the initial stages of sleep ~ a lower of amplitude and slowing of dominant frequency . �Dr. Cole The April 10, ~2— 1970 references are: Harel, D., Kerem, D. and Levy, S.
