The
APGAR
Score is a standardised way of checking the health
of a newborn baby.
The score is based on 5 elements, which are sometimes named
after the letters in APGAR’s name: Appearance, which relates
to the pinkness or blueness of the baby’s skin tone; Pulse,
which relates to its heart rate; Grimace, which tests the
baby’s reflexes and response when the sole of its foot is
stimulated; Activity,which checks the baby’s muscle tone;
and Respiration, which assesses the rate of the baby’s
breathing. Each element is given a score of 0, 1 or 2 to
provide a total score of 10.
Calculate your "APGAR
Score" by selecting your Strength, Lung,
Muscle, Skin color and Reflex response performed. |
