Virginia Apgar, an anesthesiologist, developed the Apgar Scoring System Chart in 1952.
The Apgar Scoring System Chart was developed to rate a baby's appearance, pulse, responsiveness, muscle activity, and breathing.
Virginia Apgar invented the apgar score to assess a baby's health immediately after birth. She developed the score after looking at the effect of obstetric anesthesia. The score looks at a baby's Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration.
It wasn't a "discovery", it was a series of observations she codified into a 5 item scale. She developed the "Apgar Score" test in 1962.
