Study Notes
APGAR Score
- The Apgar score is used to assess the health of a newborn baby immediately after birth.
- It evaluates five vital signs: appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration.
- Each sign is graded on a scale of 0 to 2, with a higher score indicating better health.
- A perfect score of 10 is ideal.
- A low score may indicate a need for immediate medical attention.
- Appearance:
- Score 2: Baby is pink all over
- Score 1: Baby is pink body, blue extremities
- Score 0: Baby is blue all over
- Pulse:
- Score 2: > 100 bpm
- Score 1: <100 bpm
- Score 0: No pulse
- Grimace:
- Score 2: Cries and pulls away
- Score 1: Grimaces or weak cry
- Score 0: No response to stimulation
- Activity:
- Score 2: Active movement
- Score 1: Arms, legs flexed
- Score 0: No movement
- Respiration:
- Score 2: Strong cry
- Score 1: Slow, irregular
- Score 0: No breathing
