Question of the Day
Which of the following APGAR scores signals the need for immediate resuscitation of the newborn?
Question of the Day
Explanation
The APGAR scoring system was developed in 1953 by Dr. Virginia Apgar as a way to rapidly assess the newborn while simultaneously delivering care. Scores are recorded at 1, 5 and 10 minutes of life. The five components of the APGAR score are heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, reflex irritability, and color. A score of 8-10 is considered normal, 4 to 7 indicates moderate impairment, and 0 to 3 indicates the need for immediate resuscitation.
