Abstract
Twenty two infants were resuscitated at birth using a face mask connected to an oxygen supply from a conventional resuscitaire. Intermittent finger occlusion provided the positive pressure within the mask. This method was apparently at least as effective as the best bag and mask systems and was convenient to use.
