How fucking hard is it to deliver oxygen to stroke patients? Or aren't you willing to take the chance on translating this research from rats to humans?
There is this from March, 2005:
A Pilot Study of Normobaric Oxygen Therapy in Acute Ischemic Stroke
And this in October, 2010
Normobaric oxygen therapy in acute ischemic stroke: A pilot study in Indian patients
And this from October 2012:
Normobaric Oxygen Therapy
HOW FUCKING LONG WILL YOU LET YOUR INCOMPETENT STROKE HOSPITAL STILL TREAT PATIENTS LIKE NOTHING NEW HAS OCCURRED IN THE PAST 50 YEARS?

Abstract
Background and Purpose—The efficacy of neuroprotective approaches in stroke may be influenced by existing comorbidities. Here, we compared the effects of normobaric hyperoxia (NBO) in normotensive versus hypertensive rats subjected to transient focal cerebral ischemia.
Methods—Male Sprague–Dawley and spontaneously hypertensive rats were subjected to transient focal ischemia via intraluminal filament occlusions of the middle cerebral artery. NBO was started 15 minutes after ischemic onset and stopped at the time of reperfusion. Acute neurological deficits and tetrazolium-stained infarct volumes were quantified at 24 hours.
P=0.0064) in normotensive Sprague–Dawley rats subjected to 100 minutes transient ischemia. No effects of NBO were observed in hypertensive spontaneously hypertensive rats subjected to either 100 minutes or 75 minutes of transient ischemia. No significant changes in neurological outcomes were detectable in any group.
Conclusions—NBO reduced infarction in Sprague–Dawley but not in spontaneously hypertensive rats. These findings suggest that comorbidities may influence responses to potential treatments after stroke.
