Who performs apgar scores? is it just the doctor? or nurse practitioner? |
please provide links to your sources. thanks It's a published standard, so anyone with the training can do it. my mid wife did mine and my friends and refered my friend on to the people she need to talk to. In my experience it is the nurse who does the apgars and the doctor either agrees or disagrees. Unless there is a complication during delivery the birthing midwife usually does the apgar score. right after birth the head nurse has always done this for my children and the doctor either tells her the baby is OK or that they need to wait a little longer to do another one. |
