Re 10 min Apgar scores

[cjknight]

Dear listers Does anyone else out there do a routine 10 min Apgar score on babes? I am having a long running argument with our Quality Improvement Coordinator that this score is not routine and most cases meaningless. It just means more paperwork with little impact on the way we practice. She insists that it is an Aust wide clinical indicator. Anyone else got any ideas ? Regards Jane
