Abstract

In the Zacamil National Hospital, a descriptive, retrospective study of 44 cases of mothers who had children with APGAR scores low at the first or fifth minute of life during 2004 was carried out, with the objective of knowing the frequency, related obstetric factors, delivery route and resuscitation methods used in the neonate with low APGAR in the delivery service of said institution. It was found that during the year 2004 a total of 3,027 deliveries were attended, of which 44 cases had APGAR of 6 6 fewer representing a frequency of 1.4%. Of the neonates with low APGAR at one minute, a satisfactory recovery house greater than 80% was found at 5min. The highest incidence was observed in term infants with weight between normal ranges. It was concluded that maternal age, prirniparity, incomplete or absent prenatal control, labor dystocia and caesarean section are risk factors for the newborn to have low APGAR.
