The Apgar score is a standard measurement system used by medical professionals to evaluate the health and well-being of newborns immediately after birth. It assesses five areas: appearance (color), pulse (heart rate), grimace (reflex irritability), activity (muscle tone), and respiration (breathing rate and effort).

The Apgar score helps medical professionals identify any immediate health concerns and determine if any interventions are needed.
