Potential problems fror a baby who had low apgar score at 5 minutes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What happened next: Long term outcome depends on alot more than 5 min agar score. A full term infant with low 5 min score but normal 10 min score who did well and has no symptoms is unlikely to have long term problems.
