The influence of a possible hypo-oxygenation on the pO2 in the CSF was simulated by cardiac arrest by stopping the blood circulation, leading to an undersupply of oxygen to the organism. For this purpose, the oxygen level in the CSF was measured in a living animal directly before cardiac arrest. The animal was then euthanized. Ten minutes after verification of death, the oxygen level in the CSF was measured again.
