Treatment with xenon before and after injury (A) improves neurological outcome and (B) reduces contusion volume following trauma. Xenon-treated animals (grey bars) received 75% xenon : 25% oxygen for 2 hours before injury and for 2 hours after injury. Control animals (white bars) received 75% nitrogen : 25% oxygen. Neurological outcome and contusion volume were measured 24 hours after trauma. Bars represent mean values and error bars are standard errors (control n=6, xenon n=6). * = p<0.05; ** = p<0.01, compared to control.
