Neonatal Apgar scores will be reviewed and recorded by chart review. The Apgar score is a method used to describe a newborn's status at birth and response to resuscitation. The Apgar score comprises five components: 1) color, 2) heart rate, 3) reflexes, 4) muscle tone, and 5) respiration, each of which is given a score of 0, 1, or 2. The range of scores is 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate reassuring newborn status.
