Apgar score
The test designed to quickly evaluate a newborn's physical condition after delivery and to determine any immediate need for extra medical or emergency care. The test is given twice: once at 1 minute after birth, and again at 5 minutes after birth. APGAR: Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration.
