The APGAR is a quick, overall assessment of newborn well-being. 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. The one minute APGAR assessment provides information about the babyâs physical health, and helps the physician determine if immediate or future medical treatment will be required.
Although the Apgar score was developed in 1952 by an anesthesiologist named Virginia Apgar, you also might hear it referred to as an acronym for: Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration. The Apgar test is usually given to a baby twice: once at 1 minute after birth, and again at 5 minutes after birth. Sometimes, if there are concerns about the baby's condition or the score at 5 minutes is low, the test may be scored for a third time at 10 minutes after birth.
