Twenty newborn infants with birth asphyxia were alternately assigned to ventilation with either the Samson or the Laerdal infant resuscitator. During resuscitation significantly greater percentage changes in pH (1,1% v. 0,2%; P less than 0,05), hydrogen ion concentration (-15,6% v. -2,1%; P less than 0,05) and partial arterial carbon dioxide pressure (-24,5% v. -11,9%; P less than 0,02) were seen in the Laerdal group. There was also a tendency towards improved oxygenation and lung compliance and quicker establishment of spontaneous respiration in the Laerdal group. We therefore conclude that the Laerdal resuscitator is superior to the Samson one in the management of infants with birth asphyxia.
