Norcuron does not affect Apgar score, fetal muscle tonus nor cardiorespiratory adaptation.
However, the Apgar scale is typically the initial method used to evaluate a baby immediately after he or she is born.
If you've already been through a series of childbirth classes, you may be well aware of the Apgar scale.
A newborn is evaluated and given an Apgar score at one minute and five minutes after birth.
Newborns typically don't need any health assistance if they receive an Apgar score of eight to 10.
