The Apgar Score
Captions available
The idea
The Apgar score rates a newborn at one minute and five minutes after birth on five signs, each scored from zero to two.
In practice
Appearance, pulse, grimace, activity and respiration, the letters of the name.
Where people slip
The one-minute score shows how the baby tolerated birth; the five-minute score, how the baby is doing afterwards.
