Silverman Score vs APGAR Timer

The App Silverman Score lets you evaluate respiratory distress of a newborn, based on five criteria. Each parameter is quantifiable and the total sum is interpreted in terms of respiratory distress. This application can be used by doctors, nurses and anyone related to health care in a simple and intuitive way, providing an immediate response by selecting the options in each category. The criteria evaluated in the test of Silverman and Andersen are: - Thoraco-abdominal movements - Intercostal retractions, ie collapse of the intercostal spaces - Xiphoid retraction, ie the point of the sternum - Nasal flaring - Expiratory groan Interpretation: The sum of points obtained during the evaluation is interpreted as follows: Newborn with 0 points, without respiratory distress. Newborn with 1-3 points, with mild respiratory distress. Newborn with 4-6 points, with moderate respiratory distress. Newborn with 7-10 points, with severe respiratory distress.
