The APGAR Score is used to evaluate the general health of a newborn infant. Scores are given at 1 and 5 minutes of age and range from 0-2 in each category. Categoies are Color, Muscle Tone, Respiration, Heart Rate, and Reflex Response to Nasal Catheter or Tactile Stimulation. Scores of 7-10 at 5 minutes are considered normal, 4-6 intermediate, and 0-3 low.
