The search engine Google is honoring the life of an American doctor who developed a system for measuring a newborn baby’s health. Virginia Apgar is the subject of the Google home page’s latest Doodle. Thursday would have been Apgar’s 109th birthday. As Google explains, Apgar’s “presence can still be felt in delivery rooms across the globe.” As a medical student, Apgar noted that a number of babies that had seemed healthy at birth were dying soon after leaving the hospital. This was because there was no commonly used method for measuring newborn health. In 1952, she created a life-saving test. This five-step test has doctors examine the appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration of newborns.
