Summary Two new syringes for arterial blood sampling were compared. Fifty syringes of each type were randomly tested in awake patients and no signifcant differences were found regarding time taken to collect samples, or the pain experienced by the patient. Air bubbles were found in, and blood leaked, from the Pulsator syringes signijcantly more often than from the Radiometer B 129 syringes (p < 0.00s).
