About
The APGAR Score Calculator is a free educational tool designed for nursing students learning newborn assessment. It helps users calculate APGAR scores at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth across five categories: Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration. Each category receives a score from 0 to 2, producing a total score from 0 to 10. The calculator adds the selected values and indicates whether the result is normal, moderately abnormal, or low. When both assessment times are entered, it also compares the results to show whether the newborn's score improved. The tool includes a practice mode that generates a clinical scenario with randomized values, allowing students to calculate the score themselves before checking the result. The page also explains APGAR scoring criteria, common student mistakes, interpretation, special circumstances, and how the score is used in newborn assessment.
