This is a score given to newborn babies by nurse/Doctor at 1min & 5 min post birth.

It rates the babies condition by 5 criteria, Color, Pulse, Reflex/Irritability, muscle tone & breathing. A score of 0-2 is assigned to each. Min 0, Max 10 overall

The lower the score the more intervention the baby needs at birth.
