Q

Apgar score

A
  • Assessment of newborn vital signs following labor via a 10-point scale evaluated at 1 minute and 5 minutes.
  • **Apgar score is based on Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration **
    • ≥ 7 = good
    • 4–6 = assist and stimulate
    • < 4 = resuscitate
  • If Apgar score remains < 4 at later time points, there is increased risk that the child will develop long-term neurological damage.
