APGAR Score

Score the newborn APGAR — appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration — for a quick 0-to-10 read on how a baby is transitioning at 1 and 5 minutes of life. It guides assessment; resuscitation itself follows NRP.

Total score

Scored at 1 and 5 minutes (and every 5 min up to 20 if depressed). The APGAR guides assessment; it does not by itself dictate resuscitation, which follows NRP.
