| Apgar: Apgar score | Апгар (After a baby is born, doctors calculate his Apgar score to determine whether the newborn will need additional medical assistance. Developed by anesthesiologist Virginia Apgar in 1952, the score rates a baby's appearance, pulse, responsiveness, muscle activity, and breathing. The numbers are totaled, and 10 is considered a perfect score. Chudnovskaya) |
