Q

What is an Apgar score (definition)?

A

an assessment of the newborn immediately after birth to classify the newborn’s neurologic recovery from birth and adaptation to extrauterine life. Score once at 1 minute and again at 5 minutes.
Score 0-2 for:
Heart rate
Respiratory effort
Muscle tone
Reflex irritability (reaction to suction of nares with bulb syringe)
Color
