Certain conditions render individual criteria within the score less reliable but do not significantly lessen the reliability of the total assessment. The optimal age for maturational assessment is betw...
متن کاملComparison of Apgar score in new born by vaginal delivery and spinal anesthesia and its relationship with contributing factors

متن کاملasphyxiated newborn infants
Perinatal asphyxia is a cause of significant morbidity among full term infants, but breathing abnormalities after an asphyxic insult have not been studied.
