Abstract
The use of carbon dioxide in resuscitation was advocated in the 1920s and 1930s. A device, the Sparklet Resuscitator, was marketed to allow the administration of carbon dioxide gas. This piece of equipment is described and the indications for its use in resuscitation reviewed. The use of carbon dioxide appeared to have a degree of support and success as a 'universal' aid to resuscitation.
