Neonatal assessment is one of the skills a paramedic or EMT learns in their EMT school but don’t get a chance to use very often.  Some EMS providers may never use the APGAR score assessment technique in their entire careers.  That doesn’t mean that we don’t have to refresh our memories periodically.

This week’s Nursing Show episode takes a look at the APGAR score and reviews the components of this valuable newborn assessment tool.  Check out this week’s episode at the links below.
