New born baby who has just been delivered is handed to his mother by the hospital midwife who helped with the birth. The epidural anesthesia filter and catheter can be seen attached to mothers chest. The midwife is using a sonicaid. This equipment allows the midwife to monitor the baby's heart rate. The infant, who is still covered in vernix has had a clamp placed on his umbilical cord. The midwife will soon perform the apgar score on the infant. This is the evaluation of an infant's physical condition, usually performed one minute and again five minutes after birth, based on a rating of five factors that reflect the infant's ability to adjust to extrauterine life. These are heart rate, respratory effort, muscle tone, reflex irritability and colour..© SHOUT. THIS PICTURE MUST ONLY BE USED TO ILLUSTRATE THE EMERGENCY SERVICES IN A POSITIVE MANNER.
