Abstract
Animal data indicate that injury in a number of organs, including the brain, is aggravated by giving pure oxygen to newly born depressed infants even for a brief period. Although the optimal oxygen concentration probably is not known for newborn infants in need of resuscitation, pure oxygen should be avoided. These data should be reflected in new guidelines that are under way.
