The Apgar score was devised in 1952 by the famous eponymous doctor Virginia Apgar (1909-1974). This is one of the major discoveries for assessing the clinical status of the newborn infants.
Virginia Apgar first invented the Apgar score in 1949 but then refined and finally published it in 1953.

An APGAR score is an evaluation of a baby condition at birth. It is judged in 5 categories (Appearance, Pulse, Grimace Activity, Respiration) from 0-2 points each. In the Appearance category a baby with pink color receives the maximum score of 2.
A score of 4, 5, or 6 requires immediate intervention, usually in the form of oxygen and respiratory assistance, or perhaps just suctioning if breathing has been obstructed by mucus.

Let's put it this way, The higher the APGAR score, the better.
Virginia Apgar invented the apgar score to assess a baby's health immediately after birth. She developed the score after looking at the effect of obstetric anesthesia. The score looks at a baby's Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration.

The apgar score is used to evaluate the health of a new born child.
To help baby's breath better, so they don't have to stay in the hospital for more time.
There are five criteria of the Apgar score. These are the complexion, pulse rate, reflex irritability, muscle tone, and breathing. The score for each of these goes from zero to two, with zero being suboptimal, and two being healthy. The better the score, the healthier the newborn.
It wasn't a "discovery", it was a series of observations she codified into a 5 item scale. She developed the "Apgar Score" test in 1962.
doing the demon too i guess... the answer is APGAR

Edward George Apgar has not authored any books. He is best known for his work as an anesthesiologist who developed the Apgar score, a method used to quickly assess the health of newborns.
