APGAR Score Calculator
Scores a newborn's immediate health status at 1 and 5 minutes after birth across five clinical signs. Used by delivery room nurses and physicians to identify infants needing resuscitation.
APGAR Score
0
A score of 0-3 indicates severe distress requiring immediate resuscitation. The example score of 0 means no detectable heart rate, breathing, tone, or color.
The APGAR score (0-10) is the standard newborn assessment at 1 and 5 minutes; these bands follow the conventional clinical interpretation of the total.
Newborn Weight Loss Calculator
Calculates the percentage of birth weight a newborn has lost in the first days of life. Used by nurses and parents to determine whether weight loss is within the expected 7β10% range or requires medical attention.
