The Apgar score is a measure of a baby's condition after birth.

Virginia Apgar (June 7, 1909 – August 7, 1974) was an American obstetrical anesthetist. She was a leader in the fields of anesthesiology and teratology, and introduced obstetrical considerations to the established field of neonatology. To the public, however, she is best known as the inventor of the Apgar score, a way to quickly assess the health of newborn children immediately after birth.
