The effect of these changes on cerebral PO2is uncertain because of technical difficulties with the measurement of tissue PO2and because there are apparently extracellular and intracellular regional differences in PO2. Changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) PO2must be due to changes in the PO2of that part of the system with which CSF is in equilibrium or due to equilibration with a different part of the system under the altered conditions.
