Abstract
Hyperbaric oxygen was advocated by the Glasgow paediatrician, Professor James Holmes Hutchison, from 1963, as an effective and simple means of resuscitating the asphyxiated newborn. On publication of his trials of this treatment, Hutchison was subjected to strong criticism from leading paediatricians and physiologists, who questioned both his clinical skills and scientific rationale. The controversy escalated and forced the Ministry of Health, the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the Scottish Home and Health Department to take a view.
