Apgar App - Calculate an Infant's APGAR Score
The Apgar application is a quick and reliable tool for physicians and healthcare professionals to calculate an infant's APGAR score immediately after birth. APGAR is the standard assessment test used to evaluate the general health status of a newborn at 1 minute and 5 minutes after delivery.
The APGAR score is calculated based on five factors: Appearance, Pulse, Grimace response, Activity, and Respiration. Each factor is assigned a score of 0, 1, or 2, with a maximum total score of 10 points. A score between 7 and 10 at 1 minute after birth indicates that the infant is likely in good health and will require only routine post-delivery care.
If the APGAR score falls between 4 and 6, it suggests that the infant may need breathing support and should be closely monitored. Scores below 4 are considered critical and indicate the need for respiratory support, resuscitation, or other life-saving measures.
The Apgar App allows users to select the appropriate description under each category and provides the total APGAR score as a result. It is a valuable tool for healthcare professionals to assess the well-being of newborns and make informed decisions about their care.
