The APGAR score is your baby's very first health test, performed moments after birth. It's a quick, simple assessment that helps our team understand how well your baby is transitioning to life outside the womb. This initial check is the first step in our comprehensive newborn care protocol.20
The APGAR test measures five key signs to assess a newborn's health: Appearance (skin color), Pulse (heart rate), Grimace (reflex response), Activity (muscle tone), and Respiration (breathing). Each is scored to give a clear picture of your baby's condition right after delivery.
Performed at one and five minutes after birth, the APGAR score is a vital tool for our neonatal team. It allows us to quickly identify if a baby needs immediate respiratory support or other medical attention, ensuring a safe and healthy start.
As our Senior Consultant Paediatric Intensivist, Dr. Rajiv Aggarwal, explains, a baby's first cry is reassuring but not the only sign of health. Our team uses the Apgar score and other clinical observations to assess a newborn's well-being, providing peace of mind for new parents.
