Video Description: Watch an example of a newborn Apgar test. The Apgar test, named after Virginia Apgar, is a test given to babies at one minute and five minutes after birth. Dr. Apgar developed the Apgar test in 1952 after working in the obstetrical field as an anesthesiologist. Her system was developed to help doctors evaluate how baby was transitioning to life outside the womb. The scoring system is based on five observations: baby’s appearance (color), pulse, reflex response, muscle tone, and respiration. The Apgar score is a simple scoring system that any health professional can perform. Your baby’s Apgar score does not tell you anything about her overall health. It was designed to be an easy assessment to help doctors determine if baby needed resuscitation and prevent birth injuries from lack of oxygen or other complications.
