Using the chart above, which of the following would you say is true for this infant:
George was born at term in 'poor condition' - he gasped at 30 seconds but was pale, floppy and bradycardic (<100bpm). In response to resuscitation his heart rate rose above 100bpm by 50 seconds and he gave a good cry at 2 minutes and continued had a forceful cry thereafter. His colour gradually improved over the first 10 minutes of life and his body was felt to be pink from 3 minutes with pink peripheries from 7 minutes. His tone improved from 3 minutes with crying and he was vigorous by 8 minutes of age.
