It gives a review of the history of the Apgar scoring system, its limitation, use of the 1- and 5-minute Apgar score and resuscitation, prediction of outcome, and other applications. An example of the Apgar form is provided, as well as members of the committees and liaisons and staff involved in the updating of the policy. References are provided.
