متن کاملOutcome in relation to Apgar score in term neonates.
Sixty four asphyxiated term babies (Apgar score of 6 or less at 5 minutes) and 90 non-asphyxiated term babies (controls) were studied. Of these, 40 cases and 48 controls could be followed up. Mortality and neurodevelopmental outcome were studied in both the cases and controls. Mortality and poor neurodevelopmental outcome correlated inversely with the Apgar scores at 5 and 10 minutes. The outco...
متن کاملSurgical Apgar Score, Predictor of Post-Emergency Abdominal Surgery Outcome
To provide consistently low incidence of major complications for patient undergoing any operation, recognizing patients at high risk of developing a complication will contribute substantially to quality of operation and of cost reduction in surgery. Marked variability of post-operative outcomes is usually found due to difference in patient’s preoperative co-morbid and risk factors [1]. The card...
متن کاملSurgical apgar outcome score: perioperative risk assessment for radical cystectomy.
PURPOSE Currently objective perioperative risk assessment metrics are lacking for radical cystectomy. Using a simple 10-point scale similar to neonatal Apgar assessment we evaluated whether a surgical outcome score calculated immediately after radical cystectomy would predict major complications and mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified 155 consecutive radical cystectomies performed ...
متن کاملCorrect use of the Apgar score for resuscitated and intubated newborn babies: questionnaire study.
The Apgar score has played a crucial role in the delivery room assessment of newborn babies since 1953, 2 but this system has its limitations and is prone to interobserver variation. 4 Moreover, scoring definitions in textbooks vary slightly and no specific guidelines are available for scoring intubated babies. We studied variations between observers and focussed on the scoring of respiratory e...
