THE OXYGEN tension (PO,) of brain tissue obeys the law of supply and demand. Supply is influenced by arterial oxygen content, cerebral blood flow, and cerebral blood pH (by the Bohr effect), and demand depends soleIy on the functional state of brain metabolism. If the oxygen tension of the blood is reduced (for example, by anoxic anoxia of nitrogen inhalation), presumably a value will be reached below which capillary PO, is insufficient to maintain oxygen diffusion into brain tissue; functional impairment with signs of cerebral anoxia will result. Such thresholds for oxygen tension have been determined for brain preparations; below these cerebral oxygen consumption became decreased and thresholds for cerebral venous PO,-at which electroencephalographic slowing and decreased cerebral metabolism occurred-have also been estimated in animals by several investigators.1-5 There is as yet no comparable data available in man except a few determinations of the levels of oxygen saturation in the internal jugular vein at which loss of consciousness occurred during nitrogen breathing and postural hypotension.6 It has been reported in animals that when tissue or capillary venous pOz fell below threshold during induced anoxia the extracellular sodium ions of the brain decreased and there was an increase of extracellular potassium. This ionic change was said to correlate with electroencephalographic slowing.5,7rs Such data support the notion that anoxic symptoms and signs are due to failure of the mechanism for active sodium transport in brain, which is apparently dependent on cerebral energy metabolism. The present study reports for the first time in man similar observations concerning the threshold for cerebral venous oxygen tension
