Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration (APGAR) Score of Infants at 1 Minute and 5 Minutes After Birth

The Apgar score is a method to quickly summarize the health of newborn children. The Apgar score is determined by evaluating the newborn baby on five simple criteria: appearance (skin color), pulse (heart rate), grimace (reflex irritability), activity (muscle tone) and respiration on a scale from 0 to 2. Apgar total score (obtained by summing up values from all five items) ranges from 0 to 10 with a score of 0 expressing the worst neonatal status and a score of 10 the best status.
