Frequently Asked Questions

What does APGAR stand for?

Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration.

When is it performed?

Routinely at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth. If the 5-minute score is low, it may be repeated at 10 minutes.

Is a low score dangerous?

A low 1-minute score often means the baby needs immediate medical attention (like suctioning) but does not necessarily predict long-term health. The 5-minute score is more predictive of outcome.
