Apgar score
|
When a child is born, a physician will take note of his or her Activity or muscle tone, Pulse, Grimace or reflex irritability, Appearance or skin color, and Respiration. These observations are made once immediately following birth and once five minutes later. A score of zero to ten is then calculated. A low score alerts a doctor that resuscitation may be necessary and a high score reassures a doctor that the baby is healthy. Children with cerebral palsy often receive low apgar scores.
