Calculate APGAR scores easily! What do they mean? NCLEX 2

Показать описание

APGAR scores are given on all babies at 1 and 5 minutes of life. Each baby can get any score between 0 and 10. But what do the scores mean? What are the categories included? We go over pulse (heart rate), color, breathing, grimace and tone in this video, and how the points are awarded. What do you do if a baby has a low APGAR?

We are making videos on all the information you need to know to pass your NCLEX, following the Silvestri et al. NCLEX RN education book (link below).

This is a pretty good summery. I love it.
I've mostly had issues with the obs concerning APGAR scoring but being a neonatal nurse I guess we can be quick in those things.

How about those babies who cry after extraction but then go into an apnoic episode soon after?

Great review for newer providers!!
Weird fact that some of the posh pre-schools ask about apagar scores on the application, I have had a few families who were concerned because they would have to report a low Apgar scores.

I love your videos I listen to them on my commute to and from work. You’ve helped me grow so much ❤ Could you please talk about the respiratory component in APGAR scoring if the baby is receiving CPAP but has good effort and is crying but needs the CPAP for retractions and low sats. Or if the baby is intubated but making some respiratory effort at 5 minutes. There has been some confusion around this point. Thanks for all you do!

I went to CS to catch a baby. The baby did not cry at birth, color was 1, heart rate was 2, respiration was 2 (no flaring, retractions, grunting, lungs cleared after several minutes), tone was 2. Baby was just wide eyed and looking around. We tried to stimulate the baby to cry but he won't. The OB doctor was mad that we can't make the baby cry. Do we have to make this type of babies cry? I think it's cruel to aggressively rub the back and rub/flick the soles of the feet.
