AB The  Apgar  score  was  designed  to  provide  a  quick,  reproducible  way  to  evaluate  a  newborn’s  condition  following  delivery.  Scores  of  0,  1,  or  2  are  assigned  in  each  of  five  categories  (respiration,  color,  tone,  heart  rate,  and  reflex  irritability)  at  1  and  5  minutes  after  birth.  The  maximum  score  is  10.  If  the  5-minute  score  is  less  than  7,  additional  scores  are  assigned  every  5  minutes  until  the  newborn  has  a  score  of  7  or  more,  up  to  20  minutes  of  age.
