Question

What is the normal score for neonatal asphyxia rating?

Answer

The normal neonatal asphyxia rating standard ranges from 7 to 10 points, with the rating based on muscle tone, breathing, heart rate, stimulation response, and skin color. If the score is below 7, it may indicate mild asphyxia; below 4 points is considered severe asphyxia, which requires immediate treatment to avoid other complications. It is recommended to communicate with the doctor in detail after the examination.
