Post by: PrincessMuni on September 27, 2008, 03:34:17 PM
APGAR score is the first test given to the neonate in the first munite and after 5 munites, me myself did it alot and its fun. A baby who scores a 7 or above on the test at 1 minute after birth is generally considered in good health. However, a lower score doesn't necessarily mean that  baby is unhealthy or abnormal. But it may mean that baby simply needs some special immediate care, such as suctioning of the airways or oxygen to help him or her breathe, after which baby may improve.

5 steps which are
1-activity and muscle tone
2-pulse (heart rate)
3-grimace response(reflex irritability)
4-appearnce(skin color)
5-respiration(depth n rate n effort)
