Summary

Select the observed condition for each of the 5 Apgar criteria to get an instant total score and clinical interpretation for newborn assessment.

How it works

  1. Observe the newborn immediately after birth.
  2. For each of the 5 criteria, select the option that best matches the observed condition.
  3. The calculator instantly sums all individual scores into a total Apgar score (0–10).
  4. Review the color-coded interpretation: normal (7–10), moderate concern (4–6), or needs resuscitation (0–3).
  5. Repeat the assessment at 1 minute and again at 5 minutes after birth as clinically indicated.

Use cases

  • Rapid bedside assessment of newborn health immediately after delivery.
  • Standardized documentation of neonatal status at 1 and 5 minutes post-birth.
  • Guiding decisions on the need for resuscitation or additional monitoring.
  • Medical education and training on neonatal assessment methods.
  • Communication of newborn status between obstetric and neonatal care teams.
