Figure 1From: Combination therapy with normobaric oxygen (NBO) plus thrombolysis in experimental ischemic strokeCerebral perfusion during embolic focal ischemia and reperfusion after tPA thrombolysis. Cerebral perfusion as measured with laser Doppler flowmetry (mean ± SD) dropped rapidly below 20% after clot injection. Intravenous tPA therapy almost fully restored perfusion. Saline did not have detectable effects on cerebral perfusion values.Back to article page
