Born in 1909 in New Jersey, Virginia Apgar trained in surgery but, after advice from Columbia’s chair in 1937, redirected to anesthesiology. At NewYork–Presbyterian/Columbia she focused on obstetric anesthesia and newborn resuscitation. On 1 June 1952 she presented a simple, minute-one assessment—heart rate, respiration, muscle tone, reflex, and color—scored 0–2 each; Anesthesia & Analgesia published the method in 1953. The “Apgar Score” enabled immediate decisions: ventilate, warm, or observe.

Virginia Apgar, MD, (1909-1974) was an obstetrical anesthesiologist best known for developing the Apgar score, a system used worldwide for evaluating the physical condition of newborns at birth. Her career spanned the fields of medicine and public health, and she became a pivotal figure in redirecting the March of Dimes mission in the 1960s from #polio to #birthdefects and other infant health problems such as preterm birth. In fact, she was the first medical leader at March of Dimes to recognize

Tudtad, hogy az Apgar-skálát egy amerikai doktornő dolgozta ki – és forradalmasította vele az újszülött-ellátást? 👩‍⚕️✨ Dr. Virginia Apgar, amerikai aneszteziológus 1952-ben alkotta meg azt az egyszerű, mégis életmentő rendszert, amellyel a babák állapotát ma is világszerte felmérik a születés utáni percekben. Az Apgar-skála az első percben, majd öt perccel később értékeli, hogyan alkalmazkodik a baba a külvilághoz: ❤️ a szívverését, 💨 a légzését, 💪 az izomtónusát, 🩷 a reflexeit és 🌸 a bőrs

The Female Quotient® on Instagram: "#Trailblazers ✨ The moments immediately after birth are some of the most telling indicators of a newborn’s health. Yet, until the 1950s, there was no standardized way to evaluate these crucial first minutes or to confidently assess a baby’s condition. That changed with the work of Dr. Virginia Apgar. She developed a systematic scoring method to quickly measure vital signs and determine a newborn’s well-being. And she did this at a time when women were often ex

Midwives College Of Utah on Instagram: "Learn about the woman who created the APGAR score. Reposted from @every_hero_a_story Original caption below. ***** In the 1940s, childbirth was often dangerous. Too many newborns died within minutes of birth — and no one knew why. Virginia noticed the silence. The inaction. The assumption that some babies were just “too weak” to survive. She refused to accept that. With determination and brilliance, she created the Apgar Score in 1952 — a simple 1-minute a
