APGAR Score - Neonatal Health Assessment
The APGAR score is a standardized neonatal assessment system developed to quickly evaluate a baby's health immediately after birth. It assesses five clinical criteria:
It assesses five clinical criteria:
- Appearance
- Pulse
- Grimace
- Activity
- Respiration
- 1 minute after birth
- 5 minutes after birth
- 10 minutes (if required when score remains low)
Each parameter is scored from 0 to 2, with a maximum total score of 10. APGAR scoring is typically performed at:
How the APGAR Calculation Works
The APGAR score is calculated by assigning a numerical value to each clinical observation based on the newborn's condition at the time of assessment.
For every parameter selected, the calculator automatically assigns:
- 0 - Severely depressed response
- 1 - Moderately reduced response
- 2 - Normal or optimal response
The calculator automatically sums the selected values to generate the total APGAR score instantly. This structured scoring method supports quick clinical interpretation and helps guide immediate neonatal care decisions.
