What treatments arose from dr virginia apgar's invention of the scoring system for newborns?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

APGAR: Virginia apgar was an early researcher in neonatal work & a scoring system was developed using letters in her name to help classify the activity of newborns.The primary outcome of her work was the recognition of a need to intervene aggressively if the heart rate was down or respiratory effort meager. Later work shows that micro- premi's seldom have the muscle tone to have high scores.
