I Norge er det mellom 1200 og 1800 barn årlig som trenger gjenoppliving på grunn av oksygenmangel i forbindelse med fødselen (fødselsasfyksi). På Rikshospitalet pågår nå et prosjekt som vil evaluere dagens behandlingsformer [...] I prosjektet undersøker Kutzsche forskjellen på hvordan behandlingen fungerer med rent oksygen (dagens standardbehandling) i forhold til luft.
