Newborn Assessment - APGAR Score

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. Apgar scores < 7 require further evaluation. If Apgar score remains low at later time points, there is increased risk the child will develop long-term neurologic damage.
