The term “Apgar define ” essentially refers to a scoring system based on five key criteria: Appearance (skin color), Pulse (heart rate), Grimace (reflex response), Activity (muscle tone), and Respiration (breathing effort). Each category is assigned a score between 0 and 2, with a maximum total of 10. A higher score generally indicates that the newborn is in good condition, while a lower score may signal the need for medical assistance or immediate intervention.
