Appearance
Pulse

Activity and
Respiration...hence APGAR
Each category is scored from 0-2, toward a total of 10

Developed in 1952 by anesthesiologist, Virginia Apgar, , the APGAR Score checks the newborn's Activity level, Pulse, Grimace, Appearance, and Respiration at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth.
At the moment of delivery, many newborns can often appear dusky or have a lower than normal APGAR. Usually, the low scores begin to come closer to normal by 5 minutes. A baby's skin color improves, for example, as the lungs fill with air and the baby's circulatory system takes over and normalizes. The test can be repeated if needed. A baby may be more listless because of sedation given to the mother, but with stimulation, the baby becomes more responsive.
Obviously, a very low APGAR at 1 minute would mean doctors and nurses would be intervening and treating symptoms, as appropriate.

THe APGAR scale is applied to newborns. It may be used by obstetricians, midwives, pediatricians, neonatologists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners involved with childbirth.

A system of assessing the general physical condition of a newborn infant based on a rating of 0, 1, or 2 for five criteria: heart rate, respiration, muscle tone, skin color, and response to stimuli. The five scores are added together, with a perfect score being 10.
Apgar testing is the assessment of the newborn rating color, heart rate, stimulus response, muscle tone, and respirations on a scale of zero to two, for a maximum possible score of 10.
What are you asking? Are you asking what a good apgar is? The higher the better. Are you asking what is the purpose of the rating is? It's to give a number that represents whether or not a newborn is in dtistress.
