Most hyperbaric medicine reports concentrate on the patient and his morbidities. In addition to the well-known indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), we cannot discount possible side effects. Among medical staff regularly exposed to hyperbaric conditions the best described so far is decompression sickness. A non-invasive and easily available way to assess cognitive functioning involves the use of the critical flicker fusion frequency (CFFF) test. In the current study, the flicker test was performed several times on 21 subjects, both under normobaric and hyperbaric conditions. The test was conducted using the device that flickering was programmed according to the method of limits. While in the hyperbaric chamber, 15 of the participants breathed oxygen to reduce the risk of decompression sickness. Flicker and fusion frequencies differed from each other in both normo- and hyperbaric conditions (p < 0.01). CFFF results were dependent on oxygen breathing during decompression.
