Apgar scores (Table A-1,) are a numerical expression of a newborn infant’s physical condition. Usually determined 1 min after birth and again at 5 min, the score is the sum of points (0–10) gained on assessment of color, heart rate, reflex irritability, muscle tone, and respirations. Apgar conveniently stands for “Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration” and was actually developed by Dr. Virginia Apgar in 1952 (https://medlineplus.gov/encyclopedia.html. Accessed June 1, 2020).
