What is the APGAR test? Answer - -The APGAR is a quick, overall assessment of
newborn well-being
, When is the APGAR test used? Answer - -The APGAR is used immediately
following the delivery of a baby. Test scores are recorded at one minute and
five minutes from the time of birth.
Why is the APGAR test necessary? Answer - -The one minute APGAR
assessment provides information about the baby's physical health, and helps
the physician determine if immediate or future medical treatment will be
required. The five minute assessment measures how the baby has responded
to previous resuscitation attempts, if such attempts were made.
What conditions does the APGAR test evaluate Answer - -APGAR measures the
baby's color, heart rate, reflexes, muscle tone and respiratory effort.
What do the APGAR scores mean? Answer - -APGAR scores range from zero to
two for each condition with a maximum final total score of ten. At the one
minute APGAR, scores between seven and ten indicate that the baby will need
only routine post delivery care. Scores between four and six indicate that some
assistance for breathing might be required. Scores under four can call for
prompt, lifesaving measures.
At the five minute APGAR, a score of seven to ten is normal. If the score falls
below seven, the baby will continue to be monitored and retested every five
minutes for up to twenty minutes. Lower than normal scores do not mean that
there will be permanent health problems with the child.
HEART RATE:
0 - No heart rate
1 - Fewer than 100 beats per minute indicates that the baby is not very
responsive.
