Table 1
Optic nerve oxygen tension (ONPO2), arterial pH (apH), arterial PCO2 (aPCO2), arterial PO2 (aPO2), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) before and at a time point after CO2 breathing, indomethacin injection, or dorzolamide injection. The chosen time points are 60 minutes after the injection of indomethacin and 30 minutes after beginning of CO2 breathing and carbonic anhydrase inhibition
