Toxic effects of high oxygen tension include all of the following except

A
Pulmomnary edema
B
Decreased cerebral blood flow
C
Retinal damage
D
CNS excitation and convulsion
High-Yield Explanation
Prolonged exposure to above-normal oxygen paial pressures, or shoer exposures to very high paial pressures, can cause oxidative damage to cell membranes, collapse of the alveoli in the lungs, retinal detachment, and seizures. Oxygen toxicity is managed by reducing the exposure to increased oxygen levels. Ref: guyton and hall textbook of medical physiology 12 edition page number:355,356,357
